Part of the Yoko Ono Lennon Lunchtime Concert Series

Tarang is an innovative Indian music collective bringing together the UK’s most exceptional young professionals. Far from a standard ensemble, Tarang is defined by its contemporary interpretations of Indian classical music, reflecting the global influences and diverse cultural environments experienced by this generation of British-born Indian musicians.
Produced by Milap and featuring bespoke arrangements by Girishh Gopalakrishnan, the repertoire for this lunchtime concert bridges the gap between classical rigour and modern experimentation.
This lunchtime concert features bold, innovative repertoire, from the intricate structures of Carnatic and Hindustani music to global contemporary influences. Highlighting a world premiere by tabla maestro Kousic Sen and bespoke arrangements of works by Hariharan and Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh, Tarang delivers a fresh, sophisticated, and entirely unique sonic identity.
This performance is a rare opportunity to hear Indian music reimagined for a modern, global stage—fresh, distinctive, and technically brilliant.
Programme highlights:
Echoes of Benaras (world premiere), a new commission by Tabla Maestro Kousic Sen
Midnight Sun, an original composition by Tarang’s own Girishh Gopalakrishnan
Modern Masterpieces: Works by the legendary Hariharan, pioneering slide-guitarist Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya, and virtuoso Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh.
Presented in partnership with MILAP
