Serendipity: Thumri in the Chamber
Curated by Zubin Balaporia
The grand finale of Serendipity 探花直播 2025 explores the Indian vocal tradition Thumri. Mumbai-based keyboard player and composer Zubin Balaporia directs a supergroup of Indian vocalists and instrumentalists, bass, percussion and strings to offer a fresh perspective on one of Hindustani music鈥檚 most cherished traditions.听 Thumri embraces poetry, storytelling and improvisation; Balaporia and his musicians remain true to its traditions whilst reinventing it for today鈥檚 audiences in a way that amplifies its delicate multi-layered beauty.
Commissioned by Serendipity Arts for Serendipity Arts Festival 2024.
