Dhruba Ghosh has single-handedly revived the traditional classical Sarangi of North India, taking the “voice of a hundred colours” into brand new artistic territories. 
Kiya Tabassian is a master of the setar, a Persian lute with movable frets. Born in Iran and now living in Montreal, he is Artistic Director of the Constantinople ensemble and is active as a composer and researcher.

Feedback from previous participants:
“I could practice my skills as composer, improviser, instrumentalist and performer. The surprising aspect was gathering all these faces into one, in collaboration with others.”

“It was an outstanding experience. New perspectives about music, improvisation and composition were experienced in a such pleasant and challenging way.”
