Event Details

The origins of this collaboration date back to 1995, when Jonathan returned from the USA to Brisbane and befriended Soumya Chakraverty, who was studying there at the time. A new budding tabla-player, Jonathan benefited from his practice sessions (riyaz) with Soumya’s experienced sarod-playing. Soumya and Jonathan both emigrated to the USA after some years, and this is the first time since the two have been able to collaborate since. Diamond Interchange represents a willingness to explore the nexus where the musics most native to the four artists meets. More than a superimposition, the classical music of Iran, North and South India, jazz, Western classical and other music will serve as integrative processes that will ask each performer to depart from their comfort zones and interact within hybrid forms. Through composition and improvisation the four artists will attempt to synthesise their unique respective voices into a congruent and contemporary whole.

Featured non-Australian music: Music by Reza Kashi
