Bangla Week – Presented by Bangladeshi Artist Development Agency (BADA)
Closing Night Concert – A Collaboration with City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire
Jazz meets classical with a Bangla twist - a musical collaboration with Tara Lily, a British Bengali musician whose style merges R&B, jazz, electronic, and traditional sounds, and members of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
Tara Lily, a classically trained jazz musician has a strong connection to her British Bengali heritage and a unique perspective on music and global culture.
This collaboration is an exceptional blend of genres and brilliant musical minds, promising a night of electrifying sounds and hypnotic lyricism in celebration of Birmingham’s Bangla heritage artists and creatives.
Hosted by comedian and BBC Asian Network presenter Smash Bengali, the line-up includes a talented student ensemble from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire opening the concert with contemporary Bangla songs, written and performed by the emerging Bangla musician Junayed Andrew.
Bangla Week takes place between 16 and 23 November 2024.
