10 AM | IN DEPTH Rhythm of Life with Sandeep Das

Grammy-winning tabla player Sandeep Das is among the great artists at his craft in the world today. He has performed with the Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, and New York Philharmonic and collaborated for decades with Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. Through performance and discussion, he will take us into the rich history of the tabla- an instrument that lies at the heart of classical and folk music from India- and his experiences learning in India's ancient master-apprentice tradition.

7:30 PM | CONCERT III: Postcards from Europe

For millennia, composers around the world have been inspired by folk music for its expressive directness and evocation of popular traditions. On this program, we will explore the music of composers influenced by European musical traditions, from the Yiddish tunes of David Schiff to the eclectic inspirations of Berio and the nostalgic melodies of Dvořák, who passionately integrated folk and classical music elements, defining the practice for so many to come.
