A tabla player and a classical pianist walk into a room. The start of a joke maybe, but in the case of TANSHIN, it was the beginning of a multi-year journey of orchestral co-commissions, ensemble collaborations and unfiltered jams into the wee hours.
With influences like Goat Rodeo Sessions, Lili Boulanger, Ichiko Aoba, The Gloaming, and Florence + The Machine, the duo’s inspirations are as varied as their vocabulary. Tan and Shin make their debut collaborative performance as they present their improvisations and compositions in a set where genres and styles collapse into a singularity.
TANSHIN
TANSHIN is a portmanteau of names and a long-awaited wish fulfilled.
For Govin Tan and Jonathan Shin, it was a case of love at first note in 2013. Their musical genealogies suggest very little in common—perhaps the secret sauce is in their alchemy, which in its richness has yielded years of collaboration. Despite years of concerts and a handful of compositions between them, the two longtime friends will perform their music as TANSHIN for the first time.
