Loup Barrow is a talented composer capable of writing both orchestral pieces and more minimalistic compositions. Renowned for his great expertise with the Cristal Baschet – the last polyphonic instrument invented in the 20th century in Paris, Loup Barrow has made this rare instrument his speciality. While on a trip in Venice, he discovered the Glass Harp and decided to craft one himself on his return to France. His practice on the Glass Harp sharpened his curiosity for enigmatic instruments, and soon he discovered the Cristal Baschet. Loup went to Paris to meet one of the inventors of this instrument; Bernard Baschet, and was very quickly enthralled by its unlimited musical possibilities.

The Cristal is a chromatic instrument such as the piano. It is made up of glass shafts that are stroked with wet fingers to produce vibration. The vibration of the glass shafts is transmitted to the steel rods, which are each tuned thanks to a metallic weight fixed on their extremity. These rods are fixed upon a heavy springer which, in turn, transmits the vibration to a large amplifier that spreads the sound in the air.

Remarkably, Loup Barrow has performed at more than 2000 concerts in 25 countries.

J. A. Jayant, affectionately called as “Flute Jayanth” was born in a musical family. He began his early training on bamboo flute in the Indian classical music tradition of guru-shishya parampara. At the age of five, he got training from his grandfather and guru, Late Kalaimamani Flute T. S. Sankaran; Sangeet Natak Akademi Awardee and a prime disciple of the legendary artist Flute Mali.Jayant has a unique, virtuoso fingering and flute blowing technique to present his music beautifully even in the very difficult lower octaves on the bass and double-bass thick-walled bamboo flutes, while maintaining Shruthi, suddham (perfect pitching) and excellent tonal quality. His expressive, bhava - laden rendering brings out the depth and soul of the lyrical aspects of compositions he presents (Gayaki - form). It gathers a lasting appreciation from Rasika (music lovers).

Interestingly, he is the first Carnatic flutist to unveil Double Bass Bansuri flutes casting a meditative spell on the listeners.

Sonam Kalra, trained in both Indian and Western traditions of music will be performing at the Sacred Spirit Festival, 2023.

Sonam’s unique brainchild, ‘Sonam Kalra & The Sufi Gospel Project’ which blends the many voices of faith, through poetry, prayer and music, create one universal voice. Traditional western gospels combined with Indian classical sounds, and eastern spiritual texts are enriched by elements of western poetry to create a sound that touches every soul. The Sikh morning prayer blends into the lilting strains of Amazing Grace, Sufi saint Kabir Das’s word find resonance in the hymn “Abide with Me”, Punjabi Poet Baba Bulleh Shah’s voice is juxtaposed with Persian poetry and English and Gaelic texts flow into Amir Khusrau’s poetry while a Buddhist chant gently shares the stage with a Sufi Qata.

Sonam has learnt Hindustani Classical music from Smt. Shubha Mudgal and Pt. Sarathi Chatterjee. Her vast research into understanding Sufism and its true essence and her unique creative and contemporary interpretation of it has been greatly appreciated across the world.

Dr Jyotsna Srikanth is an Indian violinist and composer, performing Carnatic music and Western classical music. Jyotsna's music training began with Carnatic vocals at age five under her mother. Her first solo concert was at the age of nine.

Following her marriage, she moved to London, where she expanded her repertoire to music scores for documentaries (on Discovery and National Geographic), teleserials, besides performing at global music events such as WOMAD, the Red Violin Festival, the Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival, and the BBC Proms.

Dr Jyotsna also performs jazz and fusion, and has set up a troupe called Fusion Dreams. She has collaborated with the classical guitarist Simon Thacker, and the flamenco/jazz guitarist Eduardo Niebla as well as Fado saxophonist Rão Kyao. In 2008, she received a Fellowship in Carnatic Music from the Trinity College of Music, London.
