*Indian Skies in Denmark*
This autumn marks the culmination of our three-year musical exchange and collaboration project between India and Denmark, led by composer and saxophonist Lars Møller.
Indian Skies brings together the traditions of Indian classical music and the sound of contemporary bigband jazz in new compositions.
The latest programme features two exceptional guest artists from India: Ashwani Shankar, one of the world’s leading performers on the shehnai and acclaimed young tabla player Zuheb Ahmed Khan. They perform with Copenhagen Jazz Orchestra, Copenhagen Youth Jazz Orchestra and Bigband of the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus.
In October and November, Indian Skies tour schools, concert halls and cultural venues across Denmark, with performances in Copenhagen, Gentofte, Greve, Ballerup, Aarhus and Herning. Along the way, the project brings together students, young talents, professional musicians and audiences.
The tour is presented in collaboration with CYJO, DR Koncerthuset, DR Musikariet, Copenhagen Jazz Orchestra, Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium, supported by Danish Culture Institute India and William Demant Fonden.
The project also links to other Nordic countries and Latvia.
