Ishirini open Tagore Festival
- 1st of May, 2011
We were very honoured to be singing in the very first concert of this prestigious festival, a meeting of some of the finest experts on Tagore in the world, which celebrated Tagore's long connection with Dartington in this year of Tagore's anniversary. After a fantastic opening ceremony we sang some of the highlights of the music we had taken to India for our tour in April, including the piece we had specially commissioned. The atmosphere was really special - for many of us it was our first visit to Dartington Hall - and it was particularly rewarding to have such a knowledgeable audience listening to the pieces.
