Pandit Nayan Ghosh and Ishaan Ghosh

Henosis has the privilege of welcoming a living legend of Hindustani classical music: Pandit Nayan Ghosh. A true global reference, he is one of the rare maestros to have mastered both the sitar and the tabla—an exceptionally rare dual expertise. Alongside him, his son Ishaan Ghosh, a young tabla virtuoso, will join him on stage...

Concerts - Henosis - 08 November 2025

Malanka is the result of a musical encounter between a Ukrainian singer and bandura player and Neuchâtel-based musicians passionate about Eastern European music.
Formed in October 2022, the group offers a repertoire of songs and music from Ukraine, both traditional and contemporary. With energy and musicality, Malanka delivers festive, danceable melodies as well as deeper, more introspective atmospheres that invite an inner journey.

Kateryna Zhaburovska, with her unique, vibrant, and colorful voice, transports listeners into the richness of her culture with great emotion and expressiveness. You will also likely discover the bandura, a symbolic Ukrainian instrument that combines elements of the zither and the lute.
Joining the bandura are Christelle Biolley on flute, Katia Ritzi on accordion, and François Clavel on percussion. The close bond between these four friends brings a beautiful touch of authenticity to their music. They invite you to join them and share in their world!
