October 1, 2023 5:00-7:30PM East Meets West: Hindol Chattopadhyay , Michael London, and Joey Tayoun in Concert

Free concert with guitarist and singer Michael London, Indian sitar player Hindol Chattopadhyay and percussionist Joey Tayoun in a special "East Meets West" presentation.

Hindol Chattopadhyay:

Born in a music-loving family, Hindol was immensely inspired towards music by his music-enthusiast father, late Prasanta Chattopadhyay since his childhood. Hindol Chattopadhyay was initially groomed under his mother Smt. Bharati Devi (Vocalist) and uncle Sri Susanta Chattopadhyay, disciple of Pandit Monilal Nag; later he received his elaborate training from Pandit Amar Karmakar (disciple of Legendary Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb); late Bimal
Chattopadhyay and The Late Legend Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb! Hindol also received extensive vocal taalim (tutelage) from Pandit Kalyan Bose and from Late Pandit Nidan Bandhu Bandopadhyay — that seasoned his renditions with rich embellishments of authentic traditional vocal repertoires. 

Michael London:

Michael London is a Philadelphia Area musician with a soulful voice and a great touch on acoustic and electric guitars. His latest recordings feature interpretations of classic folk, jazz and soul songs in his own unique, exciting and expansive style. London is also a passionate interpreter of Rumi’s poetry, the great 13th century Sufi poet. He offers us a musical window into the ecstatic poems, which reveal and make tangible our connection with the self, humanity, nature and beyond. 

Joey Tayoun:

Joseph Tayoun, a second generation Lebanese American, is an accomplished Middle Eastern percussionist. He started playing at age eight at his family’s renowned Middle East Restaurant in Philadelphia where live authentic Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Armenian, Greek, and Israeli music and dance were performed nightly for forty years. Learning from many of the area’s top Middle Eastern players, Joe became adept at the many styles of drumming within these different traditions
