Art&Lit Lab, MADISON, WI

Third Coast Chamber Collective presents chamber music works written by three American female composers, Reena Esmail, Akshaya Avril Tucker and Asha Srinivasan, including the world premiere of Srinivasan's Pareeksha for violin and cello. All compositions are influenced by the traditions of Hindustani and Carnatic music and combine the Western classical and Indian classical music idioms while exploring the intersection of identity, belonging, and traditional and contemporary concepts of sound. This special performance will be concluded by a Q&A session with composer Asha Srinivasan, Associate Professor of Music at the Lawrence University in Appleton, WI.
