We bring to you Morning Riyaz re-imagined with younger, contemporary and thinking musicians as an opportunity to experience the music as an insider. The series enable audiences to be a part of the personal investment, creative processes and special relationships to their material and lineage that individual musicians pursue and develop in strikingly diverse ways. This is a rare experience in which the musicians allow us into their inner chambers, an almost private, secluded space of thought, communion and practice.
