The Alaya Project at Hammer Theatre Center

8:00pm, Friday, September 23, 2022Developed in Oakland, California, The Alaya Project merges the intricate Carnatic style of Indian classical music with contemporary jazz and funk. Made up of Rohan Krishnamurthy (Indian percussion/drums), Prasant Radhakrishnan (saxophone), and Colin Hogan (accordion piano), The Alaya Project explores new textures and perspectives built over two decades of friendship, dialogue, and musical immersion across genres and continents. Berkeleyside has applauded this trio for forging a beautiful new sound, while InterMusic SF has described its music as both sophisticated and accessible. Special guest Roopa Mahadevan (vocals) will also join The Alaya Project for this exclusive Sunset Series performance.
