“In C” Performance with the Brooklyn Raga Massive

Once again, I will have the honor of performing with the Brooklyn Raga Massive! We’re performing Terry Riley’s iconic composition “In C.”

Brooklyn Raga Massive is a collective of like-minded, forward thinking musicians rooted in Indian classical music. They’ve hosted a weekly Indian Classical Music Jam Session for two and a half years, with a goal of bringing together the community of Raga music listeners and practitioners.

Under the inspiration of BRN member / co-founder Neel Murghai, the BRM made history last year by performing Terry Riley’s “In C” by using almost exclusively Indian instruments for the performance. This had never been done before, and was given the stamp of approval by the composer himself.

This is happening at the Rubin Museum of Art (150 west 17th street, NYC) on Friday, August 28th, at 7PM.

Oh, and BTW, we made the Wall Street Journal:
