Greetings from Max Mueller Bhavan!
 
We are happy to announce a Music Workshop, conducted by Amit Heri from February 27 to March 11, 2006. Music is a universal language, integral to all societies, and this workshop will give enthusiasts hands-on experience into the world of music. The participants will attend the workshop over a period of 10 days followed by a 2-week rehearsal break culminating in a public performance.

Amit Heri studied Performance, Composition & Film Scoring on a scholarship at the world-renowned Berklee College of Music, Boston USA and the University of Massachussetts at Lowell. He has performed with Zakir Hussain, Trilok Gurtu, Charlie Mariano & Angelique Kidjo (to name a few) at many international music festivals including The Berlin Jazz Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, London Jazz Festival, Paris Jazz Festival and the WOMAD Festival. He has scored music for dance and theatre productions, television, radio & feature films “Morning Raga” and “Mango Souffle”.
