June 11, 2021 ― June 12, 2021

By thinking about new possibilities for musicians to carry out their artistic activities during difficult times as well as aiming to explore new alternatives for performing in private and reduced spaces,… composer, researcher and media artist Sandeep Bhagwati wrote a series of musical works in the course of his own time in isolation at the first months of the current pandemic.

The results of Bhagwati’s developments and ideas are his compositions “VIRELAIS FOR VIRUS DAYS” that will be premiered this weekend, June 11th (8 p.m. EST), and June 12th (8 p.m. EST)!

Don’t miss the chance to be one of the first to listen to these fantastic musical pieces!
