In the 2023/2024 season, the Duisburg Philharmonic, in their exploration of transcultural processes, already explored the Indian Nobel Prize-winning poet-philosopher Rabindranath Tagore. The program for the second chamber concert, compiled by Kamalini Mukherji, now also follows the Europe-India axis, always looking in both directions. The Indian singer, who will also curate the "Eigenzeit – Music of Now" festival in the 2025/2026 season, is considered one of the leading exponents of the music of the Bengali-Indian polymath Rabindranath Tagore, who reshaped the culture and language of Bengal. In this unique concert, Tagore's music will be reinterpreted through various musical traditions. The performance begins with a traditional Indian ensemble – esraj, tabla/khol, and Indian flute. This is followed by bridge instruments such as the lavta and the bağlama from the Middle East, followed by a Western soundscape featuring flamenco guitar, saxophone, and other instruments. The concert culminates in a fusion of these musical worlds, reflecting Tagore's embrace of global influences.
