Aditya Balani presents his original world-jazz compositions with an international all-star ensemble: a blend of the spontaneity and harmonic interplay of jazz with intense melodies and rhythms influenced by Indian classical/folk and other musical traditions. Some tunes feature Balani's unique approach to fretless guitar, developed from sarod- and sitar-playing techniques.

Ayumi Ueda presents her senior recital with music from various ethnic backgrounds. Singing with her band Women of the World, Ueda will showcase over 50 vocalists, each representing a different country. The concert promises to be highly musical with a special focus on world peace.
