Experience.
New Album!
We are excited to announce a new album from Nitish!
Experience was a live concert conceptualized and directed by Nitish in August 2012. The event was hosted by the Foundry United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas. All proceeds from the concert went to Cy-Hope, a local charity that works to improve life for economically and spiritually at-risk children.
The concert featured music from Nitish's previous albums. Nitish also premiered new works that have not been released on studio albums yet. The production featured over 35 instrumentalists, a technical support crew, full light design, and graphic projections. The live album is expected to be available for digital download next week.
A special thank you goes to Mr. Doug Lacey, who mixed and mastered the audio recordings.
Musical Gems - An Innovative Music Workshop.
Nitish conducted the pilot run of a new and innovative music workshop called "Musical Gems" this past weekend. The objective was to increase awareness about the new material that is emerging from the talents in India's music industry today. It was a successful first trial and Nitish is now busy working on conceptualizing more workshops for the near future!
