Presentations by the Prince Claus Seed Awardees, titled Seeds for the Future, is followed by a conversation between HRH Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands and artistic director Keng Sen Ong. The evening will conclude with a performance by Hania Luthufi and the musical collective Saṅkhāra, with details below:
Saṅkhāra, which means "formations or phenomena in the sea of impermanence" in Pali and Sanskrit, is a rolling collective of musicians whose sound interprets folk melodies and ragas from Southeast Asia.
The members of this collective are many and scattered around the world. The yearning to push musical boundaries beyond classical and traditional brings them together, at times as a duo, trio, or quartet, and even as larger orchestral ensembles.
This performance is a convergence of melodic motifs and traditional drumming patterns of the Southeast Asian region with Vairavapillai Venilaan on Mridangam, Uvindu Perera on Double Bass, Sujeewa Ranasingha on Esraj, Hania Mariam Luthufi on Vocals, and a guest musician on Tabla.
Refreshments will be provided.
