‘Ghatam Suresh Vaidyanathan … that far surpasses many others in his field. This Carnatic music virtuoso has been called the ‘Pele of Percussion’ in honour of his prodigal skills.’ The Better India

This is a rare opportunity to hear one of the world’s greatest percussion players, visiting Sydney from his home in Chennai, India. He is best known as a Master of the ghatam, a clay pot instrument that is one of the oldest percussion instruments in India. Joining Suresh are 3 exceptional Australian musicians, each with a unique, engaging and virtuosic approach to music-making. Thrilling percussion playing, transcendental singing, enticing sitar playing and uplifting saxophone combine to create an unforgettable experience for the listener. The concert will feature compositions by Suresh, Adrian and Sandy.
