Sounds of Indian classical music coming to Morecambe

A night of Indian music is coming to Morecambe.

Sitar player and composer Jonathan Mayer, along with Tabla maestro Kousic Sen will perform at More Music on Devonshire Road on Saturday March 15.

This concert is pitched at both Indian classical music aficionados and curious first-time listeners alike, as the two world-renowned masters of the genre will create an evening where audiences can unwind and be mesmerised by the beautiful sounds of Indian classical music.

Jonathan Mayer has composed and performed across a variety of musical genres. His versatility and distinctive approach are a tribute to his education in both Indian and Western classical music, and his studies in composition with his father, the late Indo Jazz artist John Mayer.

Jonathan is a composer and performer who has appeared in concerts all over the world, and this concert features his improvisations and compositions on the sitar.

Performing alongside him will be master-drummer Kousic Sen, a Kolkattan percussionist who has enthralled audiences globally with his incredible precision, sound, and versatility.

His rhythmic mastery has become known around the globe through his performances with leading musicians in many of the world's most famous venues.

"On his last visit Kousic shared Indian musical counting methods and techniques on Dholak drums with More Music’s musicians and high school children across Lancashire through Lancashire Music Hub," said Ben McCabe from More Music.

"This concert at More Music is a partnership with Milapfest who are marking 40 years of sharing Indian arts and culture in the UK and have worked together with More Music in the past to bring the South Asian Music Youth Orchestra to Morecambe.

"Expect a moving, virtuosic, playful evening of high octane interaction!”

More Music is a music and education charity based in Morecambe, with over 30 years’ experience of delivering workshops, training, performances and festivals across the district, region and beyond.
