A musical fusing of continents and celebration of cultures, with live music from Birmingham Contemporary Music Group. New music pieces from Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Pakistani & Birmingham musicians. With Rohan de Saram, Ondřej Adámek, Neel Kamrul and Shigeko Hata.  

Rohan de Saram is a British-born Sri Lankan cellist who, until his 30s made his name as a classical artist. He has since become an advocate of contemporary music and we are very excited to hear his new piece commissioned for his second instrument the Sri Lankan Kandyan drum.
