EYM TRIO — VARIJASHREE VENUGOPAL — B.C. MANJUNATH

Reputed for the extraordinary virtuosity of its playing and composition, the EYM Trio is also renowned for its fertile collaborations with eminent artists from a wide range of backgrounds. For example, it regularly teams up with South Indian singer Varijashree Venugopal, who possesses the rare talent of being as comfortable with Carnatic vocal techniques as she is with jazz. They will be joined on this occasion by B.C. Manjunath, undisputed star of konnakol, the impressive art of syllabic vocal percussion that also forms part of the Carnatic tradition. An evening bearing a message of intercultural openness and imbued with intense spirituality, echoing The Nine Jewelled Deer.
