BERT CORNELIS FT. ABHISEK LAHIRI, PARTHASARATHI MUKHERJEE & SOMDATTA CHATTERJEE

Midsummer in the Abbey

At the turning of the light,  De Buren van de Abdij and De Centrale traditionally organize a concert in the Sint- Baafsabdij.  This year we  focus again on the music from India with the Belgian sitar player Bert Cornelis. Besides the Indian classical music, Bert works together with, among others, Ghalia Benali, he is a regular musician for the Stromboli Fire Dance Festival and he has made music for various dance performances.
Bert has a historic, special bond with the Sint Baafs Abbey. He is very happy to play there again and brings three Indian top musicians for the occasion, namely the magnificent sarod player Abhisek Lahiri, the sublime singer Somdatta Chatterjee and the excellent tabla player Parthasarathi Mukherjee.
