Indian Rhythms
What happens when one musician becomes an entire band? Join composer and multi-instrumentalist Pavan Kumar for an interactive live looping experience where every beat, melody and harmony is created in the moment. Starting with a single musical idea, Pavan builds rich, layered soundscapes using a keyboard and looping technology, revealing the magic of how music is made. Along the way, audiences will discover rhythms from around the world, hear unexpected sounds come to life, and even help shape the performance. Perfect for curious minds of all ages, this playful and immersive concert invites everyone to listen, imagine and experience the joy of creating music together—one loop at a time.
