Tear

NEW YORK, June 3, 2021 — Asia Society Triennial artist, vocalist, performer composer, and educator Samita Sinha premieres Tear, an investigation of potentiality and emergence through voice. Tear unravels from a single utterance of a Hindustani classical vocal composition, delicately weaving breath, body, and tone with the sound of the ektaara (one-stringed instrument). Following the performance, Sinha participated in a Q&A session moderated by Sarah McCaffery, manager, interdisciplinary arts at Asia Society. (1 hr., 2 min.)
