Summermusik Festival Presents: Bach Meets Bollywood
For part two of our deep dive into Indian music, we explore the connection of Indian ragas to the music of Bach and Beethoven with music from Mumbai’s Hindi cinema, or ‘Bollywood’, works by local composer Kanniks Kannikeswaran, and arrangements of traditional Indian music by Vidita Kanniks.
