Created in collaboration with musicians and dancers primarily of Asian and Middle-Eastern origin or descent, the WEDNESDAYS AT NOON music video series provides a playground for unusual collaborations and creative experimentation. The works featured include both composed/choreographed and improvised performances and take aim at the perceived boundary between traditional and contemporary.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Galen Passen is a sitarist, composer, and visual artist based in Brooklyn, NYC. His devotion to training within the traditional formats of hindustani music have provided him with respect and love for the ever unfolding wisdom of sound while his diverse experiences across countries, genres, people and vocations have given him the conviction that art is to serve a greater purpose of spirituality and justice. Besides hindustani music he performs experimental compositions, collaborations with dance and other creative formats. He has had the privilege to work with the Pittsburgh Opera and Brooklyn Raga Massive and was awarded an Individual Artist Grant from The Saratoga Arts Council which he used to conceive and launch Folk Song, an emergent ensemble inspired by the forms of hindustani and Irish Trad.
