Rudresh Mahanthappa and Kadri GopalnathSax and Violins
Today, two skilled musicians from opposite ends of the musical spectrum come together to perform. Kadri Gopalnath and Rudresh Mahanthappa, both accomplished saxophonists, return from a recent collaboration in India to premiere a commissioned suite for the Asia Society. Gopalnath, lauded in Southern India for his mastery of the sax, has developed his own improvisations for the instrument in order to play traditional Indian Canartic music, while Mahanthappa brings Indian music and American jazz together in a unique fusion of the two, creating a style completely his own. Also joining us are members of the contemporary chamber ensemble eighth blackbird. Eighth blackbird have received critical acclaim for their adventurous taste in new music and for their bracing live performances.
