ARTIST INFORMATION
New Directions in Indian Classical Music
For more information on Smita Nagdev, click here
New Directions explores the ecstatic edge of contemporary Indian classical music. With an all-acoustic, chamber-music focus, rooted in the Sangati Center's intimate aesthetic (SF's Indian classical music art-house), the group performs new music from within an old tradition. Vocalist Gautam Tejas Ganeshan frees carnatic vocal virtuosity to access its angular outer reaches, and mridangist Anantha R. Krishnan contributes an unflinching, intelligent intensity on the mridangam, South India's barrel-drum with a sophisticated technique and powerful repertoire.
The Sangati Center
The Sangati Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit chamber music venue and community center focused on Indian classical music (ICM) in San Francisco. Founded in 2006 by Gautam Tejas Ganeshan, the Sangati Center has since hosted more than 200 public concerts of ICM, making it one of the most active and unique venues of its kind in the city - a public art-house focused on a traditional art form.
Not only have some of the greatest artists in the robust worldwide community of ICM been brought to SF to perform in its beautiful, small performance space, where no listener is more than a few feet from the musicians, and where all concerts are presented acoustically, but many from the Bay Area's own startlingly vibrant community of concert-level musicians can now be found performing at the Sangati Center regularly.
The Sangati Center hosts concert performances nearly every week of the year, as well as classes and workshops introducing ICM to newcomers and developing an audience and a community for one of the world's most subtle, rigorous, and beautiful art forms.
