By 1780, the East India Company had transformed Calcutta into a small English city. Musicians travelled from London to India, bringing the music of Corelli, Dowland and Purcell with them. Others played their harpsichords with Indian classical musicians.

Ensemble Tempus Fugit melds this unusual combination of period music and Indian song with shadow puppetry, dance and drama to tell a story of a traveller making his way to the musical heart of the City of Palaces.

This concert will end at approximately 8.45pm.

This concert forms part of Unending Love Weekenders, and is presented as part of the Commonwealth Games Birmingham 2022 Festival.

Watch a preview.

Unending Love Weekenders is a mini festival that explores musical exchanges between South Asian and European music in the 18th and 21st centuries.
