WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE FACULTY OF MEDIA, CREATIVE ARTS, AND DESIGN

Embarking on a sonic journey, this fusion music ensemble fuses the essence of Indian classical music with contemporary jazz. Inspired by Indian ragas, their repertoire combines structured compositions with spontaneous improvisations to create a unique and captivating sound. Each performance weaves a distinctive tapestry of energy and frequency culminating in an electrifying experience. This diverse ensemble brings together six talented musicians (including Humber student Adhithi Baskar and two Humber Music faculty members: Ravi Naimpally and Jonathan Kay,) blending the timeless tones of Veena, Piano, Saxophone, Drums, Tabla and Bass.
