International Women's Day: Sun Sundar Sargam
The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Singers join sitarist Debipriya Das and conductor Ellie Slorach, to celebrate International Women's Day 2024.
The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Singers and guest conductor Ellie Slorach celebrate International Women's Day 2024 with a second collaboration with the sitarist Debipriya Das. The programme is a choral journey of music marking the passing of night through to the anticipation and joy of the new day, interspersed with traditional Indian music alongside works which combine choir and sitar. At the heart of the programme is a ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ commission, the world premiere of Reena Esmailβs Sun Sandar Sargam.
Live from St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London.
Presented by Ian Skelly.
