Singapore's top jazz drummers Darren Moore and Aaron James Lee share the stage in a rare drum set duo concert. Both musicians will use Carnatic Indian rhythms as a starting point to engage in an improvised dialogue that explores rhythmic concepts from the Carnatic tradition, jazz and beyond. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness two of Singapore’s most creative drummers in action.
Mask-wearing is optional. However, audiences are encouraged to continue to exercise responsibility and caution, such as wearing masks when in crowded places. No tickets will be issued. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
