Bansuri flute has centre stage

A one-night-only transcendent experience is on the cards as the world premiere of Symphony of Bansuri takes centre stage at the Artscape Opera House on Saturday 2 August.

- 

Starring Grammy Award-winning flautist Rakesh Chaurasia and featuring the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO), this boundary-defying concert will showcase the expressive power of the bansuri — the traditional Indian bamboo flute — in an orchestral setting.

Symphony of Bansuri is a unique musical creation that brings together the rich melodic traditions of Indian classical music with the grandeur of Western symphonic expression.

This is the latest in a series of acclaimed world premieres staged by Inner Circle, whose productions have previously played to sold-out local as well as international audiences.
