Ali Sethi’s ‘Harmonium: A Roots Residency’

Aug 28, 2026 @ 08:00 pm - Aug 30, 2026 @ 03:30 pm

Join us for a mesmerizing performance blending South Asian melodies with global beats, and drawing on “folk” and “woke” iconographies to tell powerful tales of identity.

What are my roots, asks musician Ali Sethi, in this playful, shape-shifting concert built around the sound of his beloved harmonium. Ghazals, qawwalis, and avant-garde pop songs all merge and diverge as they tell a fascinating story about the syncretic nature of South Asian culture in the present day.
