Been given a wonderful opportunity to engage with the fine musicians at the Academy for a few months to work with them on Kate Tempany’s wonderful new composition Wimmera Mallee for String Quartet, Double Bass and sarod.

Honoured to take up the position of Dr C.W.W. Kannangara Visiting Professor at the University of Visual and Performing Arts in Colombo, Sri Lanka (2024-2027). Dr Kannagara was a legendary pioneer in championing education in post-Independence Sri Lanka.

Such a pleasure to be in conversation with an acclaimed film sound designer from Kolkata and to interact with a lively audience at Jadavpur University in Kolkata. It brought back such great memories of the years I spent there from 1996-1999 and the many visits over the following years. Thanks to Dr Rahi Soren for the organising this.

Was so happy to be back in Kolkata after 5 years of Covid affected travel.
I had been invited to give 5 performances in one of my most musically vibrant and inspiring cities in the world. I was honoured to have performed in front of highly renowned musicians Ustad Irfan Khan, Pandit Buddhaditya Mukherjee, Pandit Anindya Banerjee, Subranil Sarkar and Kathak danseuse Vidushi Sushmita Banerjee
