Reena Esmail, our Swan Family Artist-in-Residence, combines Indian and Western classical music traditions to create rich tapestries of sound. We’re delighted to premiere Reena’s latest work highlighting both Hindustani and Western classical voices. This new work will be paired with Fauré’s Requiem in D minor, with its elegant simplicity, offers comfort to the living and a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest.
