This week’s Culture Radar guest is Pravinder Singh, Head of Programmes & Planning for Milap.
Loved: Shez Raja at Future Yard. A fantastic gig and great to present him on his home turf! Secondly, River of Light. Another wonderful event by Culture Liverpool and for Milap to work with Murugiah for his installation of ‘Rangoli Mirrored Cosmos’ and for all to celebrate Diwali.
Looking forward to: On 16 March, Milap present the internationally renowned, multi-Grammy award winning artist, Rakesh Chaurasia, at the wonderful Tung Auditorium. To me, he is the world’s best flautist, so don’t miss this concert!
I’m also looking forward to Liverpool International Jazz Festival in February and the Darius Brubeck Quartet opening the festival. Milap and LIJF also come together again to present Rekesh Chauhan and Kousic Sen on 22 February.
Trivia: I had graduated from University of Liverpool with a Law degree, when Milap plucked at my heart strings. Nearly 20 years later, I’m still going strong to make Indian Arts accessible to all, in Milap’s 40th Anniversary year! My sisters also happen to be the amazing local and internationally renowned artists, The Singh Twins!!
