What: Ganavya @ Howler
When:
One of modern music’s most compelling performers, New York-born, Tamil Nadu-raised singer and trans disciplinarian Ganavya blends spiritual jazz, Indian devotional traditions and ambient textures for a sound that transcends time and space, at once capable of lifting audiences to a higher state and moving them to tears. After enchanting audiences alongside Nils Frahm across Australia last year, she now embarks upon her first headline tour of Australia.Since her evocative 2018 debut, Aikyam: Onnu, the California-based singer has released a string of acclaimed records, including 2024’s collaboration with Floating Points, like the sky I’ve been too quiet, the free-flowing, Alice Coltrane-inspired Daughter of a Temple, and 2025’s Nils Frahm co-produced Nilam, a breathtakingly tender work of spiritual resilience. Don’t miss this chance to experience the vocalist who the Guardian once described as having “a delicate emotive heft that could turn stoics into sobbing wrecks.”with support from Bhairavi & Nanthesh (duo).Please note that this show will have limited, unreserved seating options.

Who: Ganavya
Experimental
Vocalist and composer Ganavya Doraiswamy has carved a niche for herself at the nexus of South Indian vocal styles and jazz/contemporary music. She has been featured on various projects, most notably Alfredo Rodriguez’s Tocororo (co-produced by Quincy Jones), which hit #1 on jazz charts. Ganavya’s own debut album, Aikyam: Onnu, is set to release in March 2017. It features jazz standards translated into her native language of Tamil as well as recontextualized abhang-s (spiritual poetry written by 13th- to 15th-century Maharashtrian saints). Aikyam –a term used in Sanskrit and Tamil, to denote ‘sameness,’ is suggestive of a harmonious union, and represents a conscious merging of her different worlds. Ganavya holds degrees in theatre and psychology, and graduate degrees in performance (Berklee College of Music), and ethnomusicology (UCLA). She has worked with Danilo Perez, Placido Domingo, James Newton, Vijay Iyer, Zakir Hussain,Victor Wooten, Wadada Leo Smith, Alain Perez, Perico Sambeat, Laura Karpman, Polo Orti, Victor Mendoza, Javier Limón, Ousso Lotfy, and Zebbler Encanti Experience, among many other artists, who have all influenced her work.
