(PRINCETON, NJ) -- West Windsor Arts presents Rini on Saturday, July 27, 2024 at the Nassau Park Pavillion. This is a free show with live music and art activities. Dan Kassel will kick off the evening at 5:00pm. Feel free to bring a chair and some refreshments to enjoy.
Rini, will perform her own version of Indian Jazztronica. Shifting South Asian classical elements toward pop and jazz sensibilities in a refreshing, organic way, New Jersey based, Chennai born singer, composer and violinist Harini “Rini” Raghavan draws from her formal training in Carnatic music and work at Berklee College of Music to bring together sounds and music of her birthplace in India and her home in the US. She leads a group of acclaimed NYC based musicians from different countries that add their unique musical influences to create ‘a powerful contemporary Carnatic/electronic fusion sound’ as described by Rolling Stone India. Rini received a 2023 Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, is a part of the 2023 Grammy nominated record ‘Shuruaat’ by the Berklee Indian Ensemble and 2023 Global Music Awards Silver Medalist for her song ‘Magizhini’.
Dan Kassel is a versatile cellist who performs in a variety of ensembles ranging from classical to electronica, jazz and rock. As a solo artist, Dan has made a name for himself with his innovative approach to live-looping technology. By tapping, plucking and bowing on his instrument and recording each layer to play back in real time, he’s built a career as a one-man-band who provides soulful, original music for weddings, fine restaurants, private parties, corporate events and more.
Join their creative crew for hands-on art activities! They will offer two different projects geared for all ages and abilities.
Located behind Panera, off Rt. 1, at 510 Nassau Park Blvd, this hidden plaza is accessible, although located a distance on flat ground from the parking lot. It is a great location for a summer concert with plenty of parking, food options, and beautiful landscaped gardens.
The West Windsor Arts Council offers art and cultural events, workshops, and classes for all ages and in all disciplines at the West Windsor Arts Center and in the community.
