One of the world’s oldest music is finally getting a shake up!

The zerOclassikal project is a radical approach to south Asian classical music, aiming to provide British born and trained musicians the voice and platform to explore what their identity brings to the ‘ancient’ musical genre.

The Project is an initiative by zeroculture in partnership with The Cockpit and Collage Arts, to facilitate progressions, experiments and developments of the genre, featuring new raags, new interpretations, compositions & improvisations, including music for classical dance such as Kathak through performances, ‘open to the public’ workshops, discussions and seminars.

In the intimate setting of the Cockpit, a deliberate setting as opposed to the larger concert hall environment, the project enforces a type of engagement between the musician and audience that is at the heart of south Asian classical music.
