Indian sound worlds meet jazz violin at Pappelkrug

On November 12, 2026, the Ananda Project will transform the Pappelkrug in Bielefeld into a resonance space for modern classical Indian music. From 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM, world music from India, improvisational tradition, and jazz violin will come together for a special Indo-German concert experience.

Music between spirituality and spontaneous creation

The centerpiece of the evening is classical Indian music with its centuries-old spiritual and improvisational tradition. The musicians develop their music in the moment of the concert, creating finely woven sound garlands from voice, violin, harmonium, and tabla. The term Ananda stands for bliss and joy in yoga philosophy – a mood that the ensemble translates directly into sound.

Strong voices from Kolkata

Singer Adrija Basu and singer Alick Sengupta form the vocal centerpiece of the ensemble. Both professional vocalists come from Kolkata and have already performed multiple times on All India Radio. Their intense musical interaction shapes the stage performance and lends the vocal lines a special emotional tension.

Jazz violin, tabla, and harmonium in dialogue

The Meller jazz violinist Peter Panduranga Bayreuther has been developing world music projects in creative exchange with Indian musicians in India and Germany for over 15 years. Along with Roudraswa Rakshit on tabla and Alick Sengupta on harmonium, a lively orchestration of melodic lead, rhythmic synchronization, and free improvisation emerges.

A concert for open ears

The live atmosphere thrives on small nuances: the warm sound of the violin, the pulsating tabla playing, the ornamented vocal lines, and the floating harmonium sound. Instead of a rigid setlist, the immediate musical experience takes center stage. Thus, each passage develops its own dynamics and allows the audience's mood to gradually immerse in the sound world of the ensemble.

Conclusion: The Ananda Project brings an extraordinary combination of Indian classical music, world music, and jazz violin to Bielefeld on November 12, 2026. Those who want to experience improvised music, intense voices, and cultural exchange live will find an evening full of depth, rhythm, and musical closeness at Pappelkrug.
