Morning Music | The Srivani Jade Ensemble @JLFInternational

Uploaded February 2026 | Updated September 2026, 55 minutes ago

The Srivani Jade Ensemble will present Khayal and Thumri music from the Indian subcontinent in the 19th/20th century. The music evolved under royal patronage in British India, and reorganized itself along more democratic lines after the Independence of India in 1947. The program will feature, in particular, the compositions of musicians whose creative careers processed the Partition of India. Their stories and bandishes speak to the common ethos of the people of India and Pakistan, even as the musicians themselves and their lives were deeply affected by the changes of their time.

Presented by Kavita and Praerit Garg

$Performance: Egrets, While War | Tishani Doshi in Performance and Conversation with Nikita Gill Indian-Welsh poet, writer and dancer Tishani Doshi performs from Egrets, While War, her fifth collection, a “lyric field guide” to grief and resilience where attention becomes devotion, and intimacy, a quiet resistance. With Nikita Gill, she discusses her collection, weaving environmental loss, ancestral memory, ageing and war, invoking birds as witnesses, tracing survival and the enduring force of love alongside violence. Tishani Doshi writes poetry, fiction, and essays. Her fifth poetry collection, Egrets, While War, explores the body, violence, and renewal in fractured times. A former lead dancer with the Chandralekha company in Madras, she is the author of multiple award-winning and shortlisted books and serves as a visiting professor at NYU Abu Dhabi. Nikita Gill is an Irish-Indian poet, illustrator, performer, and New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author based in the south of England. Her work blends ancient mythology and folklore with contemporary archetypes. Her latest book and play, Hekate, is the first in a trilogy of verse novels and plays and debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list.
