In the second half, contemporary music ensemble Endymion perform Iannis Xenakis’s Rebonds B and a movement from Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time, and they are joined by Aruna Narayan and Hanif Khan to perform new works written especially for the unique combination of Indian and western instruments by five of the UK’s best up-and-coming composers, Stephen Mark Barchan, Amber Priestley, Evis Sammoutis, Jeremy Thurlow and Nathan Williamson.

Niranjana Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Shame that Aruna Kale will not be staying longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaheediyan Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Aruna "Kale", obviously wouldn't generate as much interest as Aruna "Narayan"! For recognition of personal achievement , the "shadow" can be curse, but in terms of media success and economic success, it's a blessing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
