Simon Thacker’s Music Beyond Boundaries
Guitar virtuoso and composer Simon Thacker returns to sound with the outstanding young Polish cellist Justyna Jablonska to present a special trio performance with tabla master Sarvar Sabri of Simon’s pioneering work exploring the meeting of Indian and Western music. Experience the combining of the immense expressive possibilities of ragas with harmonic explorations and the explosive rhythmic systems of India with the boundless searching of Western music, an exhilarating and world acclaimed meeting of musical styles, cultures and traditions.
Simon’s pioneering work with Indian performers has set a new benchmark for Indian/Western collaboration with some of the most successful, wide ranging and ambitious intercultural programmes ever assembled. His last album, Rakshasa (also featuring Sarvar Sabri), was acclaimed in fifty glowing reviews worldwide, named as one of the albums of the year by several journalists and played on over 200 US radio stations. Simon, Sarvar and Justyna will be touring India immediately after this performance.
“The music resounds-beautiful, amazing, moving the strings of the audiences’ souls, on which the duo play as they do on their instruments” (Pangea Magazine)
