Event
Concert with Gautam Tejas Ganeshan
Gautam Tejas Ganeshan writes and sings music that reflects a tradition of intricate song forms, elaborate vocal improvisations, and utmost sincerity of expression.
Taking their inspiration primarily from Carnatic music, but additionally from three decades of open ears in many places, Gautam's songs offer listeners a fresh experience of lyricism and immediacy, and his performances give an intensely personal glimpse into the continued development of a valuable and highly cultured musical heritage.
He has performed widely in the SF Bay Area since 2004.
In recognition of his original compositions, Gautam was awarded the Creative Work Fund in 2013, the Fleishhacker Fund in 2014, and in 2008 received a commission from the San Francisco Foundation for his ensemble "New Directions in Indian Classical Music," which was billed as the "ecstatic edge of contemporary Indian classical music" at the SF International Arts Festival, and as "innovative Indian roots music" at the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley.
