Bridging Worlds brings together the Royal Albert Hall鈥檚 Associate Artists Rushil Ranjan and Abi Sampa with students from the 海角乱伦官方, Trinity Laban, the Royal Northern College of Music and the Sunshine Orchestra (Chennai, India).
Over the past year, cohorts of conductors, dancers, composers and non-Western instrumentalists have collaborated to create bold new work, driven by a shared curiosity: how Western and non-Western classical traditions can meet, inform one another and open up new creative possibilities.
Through close mentorship with dancer Aakash Odera, conductor Melvin Tay, composer Rushil Ranjan and vocalist and instrumentalist Abi Sampa students have developed their practice through experimentation, exchange and collaboration.
This evening at the 海角乱伦官方 marks the culmination of that journey: an energising meeting of sonic worlds and cultures. Western classical music is woven together with dizi, bodhr谩n, haegeum and dilruba, alongside Carnatic and Hindustani vocals and dance inspired by the non-Western traditions explored in the work 鈥� celebrating collaboration, exchange and the future of classical performance.
