Paul Grant, Sébastien Lacroix, Santosh Kurbet

On April 30, 2023, the Temple Villamont in Lausanne hosted a fascinating acoustic journey connecting Afghanistan, North India, and Kashmir. Three talented musicians transported the audience through mesmerizing sounds and rare instruments.

Paul Grant, an American-born musician, performer, and teacher, captivated the audience with his mastery of the santoor and his passionate exploration of Eastern repertoires for nearly 50 years. Sébastien Lacroix, his longtime student, dazzled with rare instruments such as the esraj and the sitar. Santosh Kurbet, an Indian percussionist, brought exceptional rhythm to the tabla, adding depth and dynamism to the performance.

This concert was a remarkable experience, blending virtuosity and emotion, leaving an unforgettable memory in the hearts of the spectators.
