Raman Maharjan & Nelson’s Mandola
Raman Maharjan is recognised as one of Nepal's leading musicians; a brilliant traditional flute player Raman Maharjan has performed at concerts all over the world
Nelson's Mandola: Drawing on influences as diverse as ceol mor, organic chemistry and crofting legislation Nelson’s Mandola have challenged orthodox notions of time signature, plagiarism and fame, perfecting a densely creative oeuvre bursting with pixellated stochasticity guaranteed to put you off dancing for life.
The concert will be in support of Nelson’s Mandola’s Bootstock Association charity, SC036225.
Any funds raised will support Raman Maharjan's 'Music House' in Kathmandu, which opened in 2013. The Music House was dreamed up by Raman Maharjan and Swiss friend Thomas Bertschi to provide musical tuition for children who would otherwise not be able to afford it.
There is practice and performance space for young musicians, a laboratory for music and cultural discussion, a venue for concerts and gatherings, workshops and a recording studio for their own productions.
"If a child finds joy and wellbeing in its own voice or music, its family does too, society as a whole is
enriched and culture is kept alive." (Thomas Bertschi)
Tickets: Adults £12, Children £5
Interval refreshments: Tea, Coffee and home baking.
