Program:
Dukas – "The Sorcerer’s Apprentice"
Bansal – "Flash, Shimmer, Glow, Spark"
Enescu – Romanian Rhapsody No. 1
Amjad Ali Khan – "Samaagam"
A vibrant exploration of orchestral color and cross-cultural expression, this program moves from the playful storytelling and brilliant orchestration of Dukas’ "The Sorcerer’s Apprentice" to the flickering, luminous textures of Juhi Bansal’s "Flash, Shimmer, Glow, Spark," inspired by the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence.
Enescu’s Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 ignites the stage with high-energy folk rhythms and virtuosic flair, before culminating in "Samaagam" featuring world-renowned sarod virtuoso Amjad Ali Khan. In this very special performance sponsored in collaboration with UC San Diego, "Samaagam" weaves together Indian classical tradition and the symphonic world in a compelling global synthesis.
