Dr Jyotsna Srikanth

When: Fri 23 May~ 7.30pm (doors 7pm)
Where: St Ethelburga's

Carnatic music from versatile violinist and composer Jyotsna Srikanth, famed for her blend of bhava (emotion) and brilliant technique. Plus band - Passing this one on from our friends at World Music UK folks.

Dr Jyotsna Srikanth and her musicians gave an outstanding performance at WOMAD in 2007 and we have invited her to perform in the beautiful settings of St Ethelburga's next Friday.

While she has been experimenting recently with fusion and beats, next Friday's concert will see her and her musicians give a traditional concert of the Carnatic music she specialises in. Hope you can join us for what should be another special night at St. Ethelburga's.
