Description
The Emerald Tablet presents a full performance by Guatam Tejas Ganeshan, who the SF International Arts Festival has called the “ecstatic edge of contemporary Indian classical music.”Guatam’s performances feature original musical compositions in concert with extensive vocal improvisation, heavily inspired by Carnatic music. One of the first artists-in-residence at the Red Poppy Arthouse, his group New Directions in Indian Classical Music was commissioned in 2009 by the San Francisco Foundation, and he has guest taught Carnatic music at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz and led workshops at the SF Conservatory of Music, the Asian Art Museum (SF), and at the Stanford Jazz Workshop.
Gautam is also the founder and director of the Sangati Center, which has hosted more than 350 public chamber concerts of Indian classical music in the past six years. No wonder the SF Classical Voice calls him a “local treasure.”
Don’t miss this free event, which is part of North Beach First Fridays and the first in a series of events in conjunction with July’s exhibit: Journey of Hanuman by Lola Creel.
Delicious complimentary snacks. Drinks by donation.
