South India: Jyotsna Srikanth & the Ligeti Quartet
Violinist Jyotsna Srikanth explores Time in South Indian music. The first half of this concert, with mridangam and ghatam percussion, is a whirlwind historical sketch featuring composers from the 15th to the 20th century in several different rhythmic cycles. The second half features the London premiere of her own Raga Seasons violin concerto performed with the Ligeti Quartet – depicting the six seasons of the Hindu calendar.
