Shades of Shakti

Prepare to be transported. Shades of Shakti weave together the fire of Indian classical music, the freedom of jazz, and the elegance of Western classical traditions into one breathtaking performance. Expect intricate rhythms, soaring improvisations, and moments of stillness that catch you off guard.

Formed in New Zealand in 2018, this intercultural ensemble has been hailed for its dynamic stage presence and the way it dissolves musical borders. Their concerts have drawn standing ovations at the New Zealand Festival of the Arts and the Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival – and now they bring that same passion and artistry to Arrowtown this November.

This is more than a concert – it’s a rare opportunity to witness world-class musicians from Aotearoa and India creating something truly unique in the moment.
