LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Lima students were able to experience a different form of music thanks to the Lima Symphony Orchestra.
The orchestra brought guest artist Sandeep Das to Lima Senior High School and Liberty Arts Magnet School in order to showcase the tabla (tahb-la), a musical instrument that is a pair of twin hand drums from the Indian subcontinent. Orchestra members hope that these students form an appreciation of music from other countries.
"This whole season actually is centered around inclusion and bringing lots of different voices to our stage and Sandeep will be playing Tabla Concerto, which is a fusion of eastern and western music. It has a lot of western orchestra elements but also a lot of Indian classical music elements, which is something we don't normally hear on stage," said Renee Keller, marketing and education coordinator.
Das will be performing at the Lima Symphony Orchestra on October 22nd at the Veterans Memorial Civic Center.
