The Resonance Between
The Resonance Between premiere performance at Presidio Theatre in San Francisco
The Resonance Between (TRB) is the new collaboration by artists Alam Khan, Arjun K. Verma, and Del Sol Quartet -- an ensemble of remarkably synergistic vision and virtuosity.
Six years in the making, TRB as a conceptual journey explores the many facets of human emotion that transcend race and culture, illuminating our commonalities despite our roots in different worlds. TRB's intricately layered music moves through distinct chapters -- reflecting stages of the composers' own searches for what it means to belong to more than one culture -- and expresses the struggle to attain a true sense of self. In the end, no matter our ethnic or cultural backgrounds, we are all connected by the range of human emotions we share, and by the resonance of those emotions between us. This is the thread that ties us together and shapes our identity – The Resonance Between.
Sarodist Alam Khan, son of the legendary Maestro Ali Akbar Khan, and sitarist Arjun Verma collaborate with composer Jack Perla, Del Sol Quartet, and tablaist Nilan Chaudhuri to compose and perform The Resonance Between.
This immersive musical performance debuted to sold out audiences October 13&14, 2023 in San Francisco beautifully restored Presidio Theatre. It is available for touring in 2024-2026.
