The Un-Recital and qinara
by Sahil Vasudeva
The Un-Recital is a concert recital that will be set in an intimate black box space and will include works from Schumann, Satie, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff along with Sahil’s own compositions. ‘The Un-Recital’ aims to juxtapose the pianist’s journey as a musician with the chaos of his home city; New Delhi.
It has elements of art and storytelling. The performance is interspersed with a range of mixed-media elements, displayed on two screens put up in the performance space. These include films, photography, light, sound, vintage television commercials, news reports and documentary footage.
​
Qinara echoes the gradually evolving and melodic nature that has seeped into the pianist’s own introspective compositions, which he describes as “written from a personal space” and therefore, ready to offer an emotional relatability that listeners will easily respond to.
