Aruna Sairam's virtuosity is expressed through a stunningly beautiful voice coupled with extraordinarily skilled improvisation and an ability to transmit one of the world's great sacred repertoires to audiences of all backgrounds.

Her intricate vocal lines dance around rhythms of dazzling complexity, separating and intersecting, breaking free and doubling back, seeming to touch the ground only to launch into another ecstatic melody.

Her new release, "Divine Inspiration" captures Sairam at the peak of her artistry. Some might even say it is a gift from the gods.

May 9-10, Asia Society, New York

May 11, Asia Society Lecture, New York

May 17, Lanier High, Austin, TX
