Summer Solstice 2023: Act 1 "Smell The Coffee"

For the first performance of Summer Solstice 2023, Smell the Coffee was all about that first break in the morning. This contemporary instrumentation consisted of a soothing violin, played by Kamalbir Singh and a rhythmic tabla, played by John Ball.

Kamalbir Singh is a critically acclaimed violinist from Sheffield, having mastered the instrument since he was a child, and progressed to working with film production music for movies such as ‘Bride and Prejudice’ and musicals like West End in a famous musical ‘The Far Pavilions'. Kamalbir has also composed music for his own film ‘A Winter in Love’.

John Ball has been a talented player of several Indian classical instruments for more than 20 years and regularly performs all over the country in many genres of music. Indo-jazz, folk, West-African and more. John also passes on his knowledge, by teaching tabla classes at the SAA-uk (South Asian Arts-uk) academy.

Summer Solstice 2023 was brought to you with the generous support and collaboration of LEEDS 2023 and Rushbond PLC.

South Asian Arts-uk (SAA-uk) is a registered charity that was set up in 1997 by Ustad Dharambir Singh MBE to preserve the art of South Asian classical music and dance. The organisation was designed to pass down its love of the South Asian arts to the next generations through performances, community events and a complex education programme.
