About this Event
Multidisciplinary percussionist Brian Shankar Adler and the Rasa String Quartet present Redefining Home, a concert that celebrates each artists’ musical roots.
Spanning from evocative Indian ragas and mysterious Argentine tangos to spirited Celtic fiddle tunes, this collaboration evokes the feelings of home and comfort inherent in our earliest musical memories, while also exploring the rhythmic connection across a wide array of genres.
The program culminates in the world premiere of a new work for string quartet and percussion by Brian Shankar Adler, inspired by this unique collaboration.
Friday, April 4 at 7:00 PM (door 6:30 PM), approximately one hour.
