Event:
An Evening of Classical Indian Music
Location:
The Millhouse, Unit 1, Rose Mills Industrial Estate, Ilminster TA19 9PS
Details:
Join us on Friday 21st August and experience sublime, classical Indian music in our Somerset grassroots gem - Ricky Romain plays sitar at the Millhouse, Ilminster. South West-based Ricky has studied and performed Indian classical music for over fifty years, he trained under a direct disciple of Ravi Shankar and has performed across the UK and Europe ever since. His work crosses boundaries: collaborations with jazz, rock, folk, world and Western classical musicians; school and community arts projects; and a parallel career as a visual artist exhibited widely across the UK and Europe. The free improvisation in his performances typically evolves from a slow, contemplative opening and unfolds into complex rhythmic interplay, haunting, captivating and alive.The sitar's signature sound, rich with overtone and ornamentation, fills a room in a way that few instruments can match: intimate enough to hear every nuance, yet vast enough to hold an audience completely still. The Millhouse's stone walls and Victorian character make it a natural home for the sitar, warm, resonant, and free of amplification. Here's a little snippet of his mesmerising performance from the 2020 Shute Festival
