B.C. Manjunath & New European Ensemble

Indian percussionist B.C. Manjunath knows how to break down even the most complicated rhythms and explain them so that everyone understands them. Playing them, however, is a very different story; only brilliant musicians like Manjunath can do that. And the musicians of the leading New European Ensemble, since they have been working closely with Manjunath this year. Four young composers were given the opportunity to write new work for this unique combination of contemporary music and astonishing Indian rhythms, which will be premiered tonight.
