INDO CELTIC TRIO
SATURDAY 30th NOVEMBER 2024, 7:30PM
Indo Celtic Trio presents to you - A new East Meets West music fusion project tours Aotearoa in Spring, taking audiences on an exotic soundscape journey from Shimla in northern India to Dingle in west Kerry. And many locations in between!
Featuring award winning artists Basant Madhur (tablas), Tristan Carter (violin) and Jon Sanders (mandola), the trio have worked in various music projects over many years including most recently the Shades of Shakti concerts and Arts on Tour’s India meets Ireland shows.
“There is real joy in dipping into the well of musical tradition and then blending it with contemporary composition. It is at the very heart of music fusion”, explains Jon.
The three musicians have long been involved in music and film soundtrack composition, performance and community work in both halves of the world, but this represents a new combination of instruments for them. The three will weave together ragas and reels, Indian and Irish vocal cameos and self-penned anthems bringing a unique and mesmerising experience.
Adult Tickets - $23.15 (excluding fees)
Children Tickets - $11.15 (excluding fees)
