3 East 64th Street

New York City


We hope you will join us for this special concert featuring an exciting program of Western classical music with The Ivalas String Quartet and two renowned artists in the Indian musical tradition, 2017 Career Grant Winner Indrayuddh Majumder, sarod in a return appearance and Mayookh Bhaumik, tabla.

 

About the Artists


For the West, we will be presenting the Ivalas Quartet (currently in residence at the Juilliard School), composed of violinists Reuben Kebede and Tiani Butts, violist Aimée McAnulty, and cellist Pedro Sánches. The Quartet has been changing the world of classical music since its inception in 2017 at the University of Michigan by its dedication to the celebration of underrepresented composers. The ensemble has been named the Ernst Stiefel Quartet in Residence at the Caramoor Festival in 2022-23.

For the East, we will be featuring Salon de Virtuosi 2017 Career Grant Winner Indrayuddh

Majumder, sarod and Mayookh Bhaumik, tabla. Indrayuddh Majumder is a virtuoso Sarod player from India. He travels worldwide throughout the year, performing in numerous festivals as a soloist or with other outstanding musicians from Indian and non-Indian musical traditions. He concentrates on maintaining the purity of Indian classical music, coupled with exciting concert presentations, which attracts audiences of all ages. Lean more about Indrayuddh HERE and hear a sample of one of Indrayuddh's past performances for the Salon HERE.


Mayookh Bhaumik is the first tabla player to have performed in all the top Indian classical music conferences with the biggest names in Indian music. Learn more about Mayookh HERE and hear a sample of Mayookh’s past performances HERE.

 

This is a concert not to be missed as we continue a much beloved collaboration to
