SUMMARY:with abundance we breathe
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Suchitra Mattai’s with abundance we meet\, this singular musical performance offers a vibrant tribute to the voices and visions of South Asian composers within the classical tradition. Drawing on the themes of migration\, domesticity\, and fertility that permeate Mattai’s visual work\, the concert presents a sonic landscape that is equally expansive and boundary-defying. \n\n\n\nThrough an innovative program featuring works by Reena Esmail\, Philip Freihofner\, and Anish Pandit\, the performance highlights the depth and diversity of South Asian contributions to classical music—reimagining tradition through a contemporary lens. The evening includes rare pairings such as oboe and electronic gamelan\, creating a hypnotic fusion of timbre and rhythm that blurs the line between acoustic and digital\, past and present. \n\n\n\nImmersive\, reflective\, and boldly original\, this is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of abundance\, resilience\, and the ongoing evolution of classical music in a globalized world. Join us for an unforgettable evening where music becomes a meeting place of cultures\, histories\, and possibilities. \n\n\n\nThe museum and all its programs are made possible by the generous support of museum members. Members enjoy free daily admission to Memphis Brooks Museum of Art and receive discounts of up to 50% on ticketed events. Join today at thebrooks.org/join
