- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
As part of our Helios display at Coventry Charterhouse, join us for a special family workshop celebrating the sun through music and storytelling.
Supriya Nagarajan and Lucy Nolan will lead this vibrant session, exploring stories about the sun god Surya and the elephant-headed god Ganesha through South Indian vocal singing and the sounds of the harp.
Participants will also enjoy learning the sounds of Indian music in a fun and enjoyable setting - you may even get a chance to try the harp yourself!
Supriya and Lucy perform as part of Manasamitra, an acclaimed company that has toured nationally and internationally, with recent performances at the Royal Albert Hall, Southbank Centre, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, and Jaipur Literature Festival.
This is a drop-in workshop open to all, offering a relaxed and welcoming experience for families to enjoy music, culture and creativity together.
