Song of the Jasmine: Bharatanatyam and modern jazz meet up at the University Theater

Ragamala Dance Company with Rudresh Mahanthappa and Song of the Jasmine is a new work that spans cultures and traditions, combining the beauty of bharatanatyam—a classical dance from south India—with a musical soundscape that brings together jazz and Carnatic music.
A quintet led by celebrated saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa performs live on stage with the dancers, featuring soloist Aparna Ramaswamy.
