Looking forward to coming week with concerts, masterclasses and new collaborations! We will start on Saturday with masterclasses by me and tabla player Suvrat Apte at the University in Esch. Sunday we will present classical afternoon ragas at Vedanza Luxembourg in an intimate acoustic concert. In the week after that we will start a new collaboration called "NAGHMA" with excellent oud player from Egypt Mohamed Abozekry that will result in a video recording and concert at 9 pm at the Nuit De La Culture festival in Belval. After that we will visit France for a classical concert before finishing of with two concerts in Luxembourg, one classical and one together with crazy genius saxophone madman Pierre Cocq-Amann! Thanks to Adham Al-sayyad, Romeo Effe and Alexandra Protopapadakis for making this all possible after a long break from musical travel!  Also thank to Swedish Arts Grants Council for support!
