Music with Tommy Khosla and Mow Ray - ‘Alchemy’ Late Opening

Join us for a late opening of our exhibition 'Alchemy', explore the gardens at sunset and immerse yourself in an alchemical experience bringing together art, craft, live music and nature.

The evening will feature sitarist and composer Tommy Khosla and Oud player Mow Ray who join forces to present a unique duet playing two instruments with a  rich sonic history brought together in a contemporary way.

Sitarist and composer Tommy Khosla navigates a  diverse musical landscape, citing inspiration from a variety of genres  including Latin jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music. Khosla gained  notable recognition with the release of their debut solo album,  "Vignettes," a self-produced LP featured in Songlines Magazine and BBC  Asian Network. Currently studying under Anoushka Shankar and Ricky  Romain, Khosla's performances encompass a wide spectrum, from playing  Genshin Impact’s youtube concert with London Philharmonic Orchestra, and  Birmingham Symphony Hall with Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, to  grassroots performances including St Thomas' Hospital (Lyrix Organix)  and educational settings like Oxford University (The World's Music at  Oxford). Khosla is the founder and artistic director of  multi-disciplinary collective JAWARI, who are currently working towards  their debut LP - ROAD RASA.

Mow Ray is a plucked Chordophone player, currently  studying Hindustani classical music under Ustad Mehboob Nadeem. He  specialises in the guitar and Oud, but plays most stringed instruments  under the sun, as evidenced by his solo album Swara Bilik Rempah, that  sees him drawing influence from folk, rock n roll, jazz and music from  his homeland, Indonesia. Mow Ray is a member of multiple music projects,  including MTV trio, Sound Anthropology and JAWARI, and is an avid  collaborator - performing at numerous London venues from The Jago  Dalston to 180 Reference Point. His music crosses musical and cultural  boundaries, with a passion and dedication to craft that radiates from  his work.
