Hues of Imagination is a captivating dialogue between the ancient strings of the Anatolian Kamancha and the resonant rhythms of the Indian Tabla. Created by Melisa Yıldırım and Swarupa Ananth, this improvisation-led duo transcends genres and geographies. Rooted in traditional forms but shaped by a shared contemporary vision, every performance is spontaneous, immersive, and deeply emotional.
Expect a spellbinding, free-flowing performance that evolves in real-time. No two concerts are alike. Audiences are taken on a sonic journey filled with emotion, conversation, and cross-cultural textures. Perfect for festivals, concert halls, and intimate acoustic settings.
Award-winning artist, Melisa blends Anatolian roots with global sounds. Through improvisation and poetic expression, her work reminds us to look beyond identities and intuit vibrations.
