Indian Spring Colours: Resonance – Ode to Call of the Valley

GemArts and Durham University launch this year’s Indian Spring Colours concert series!

‘Resonance - Ode to Call of the Valley' , inspired by the legendary creations Call of the Valley and Valley Recalls, immortalised by Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia (Bansuri) and Pandit Shivkumar Sharma (Santoor).

These works remain milestones of Indian classical music, blending melody, rhythm, and atmosphere into timeless soundscapes.

Continuing this legacy, Resonance features Ninad Daithankar (Santoor), disciple of Pt. Shivkumar Sharma; Saurabh Vartak (Bansuri), disciple of Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia; and Saleel Tambe (Tabla), a reputed accompanist across the UK and Europe.
