Event Details
“Naad” (नाद) is a Sanskrit word meaning “sound” or “vibration.” In Indian philosophy, it is the primal cosmic vibration that underlies all creation. It is traditionally experienced as both audible sound and inner spiritual resonance. Land of Naad is inspired by this concept. Playing Bennett’s compositions written especially for the virtuoso flutist Nagarajan, the duo seeks to create music that bridges the gap between the material and the unseen world. This performance marks their debut.
