Sandeep Das and HUM Ensemble
Founded by Tabla Maestro Sandeep Das in 2010, the HUM Ensemble is a dynamic world music collective dedicated to promoting global understanding and transcending borders through the power of music. The HUM Ensemble’s debut concert took place in New Delhi and by popular demand, it continued performing throughout India in major cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai. The ensemble has since expanded to a global scale, performing at venues like the Europalia Festival in Brussels, Cal Performances in Berkeley, California, and other venues throughout the US, in addition to regular invitations for residencies and masterclasses by major universities. Artists of the HUM Ensemble have performed at music festivals worldwide including the World Music Festival (Prague), WOMAD (Madrid, Incheon, Australia, and New Zealand), and the Mystic Music Festival (Turkey), among many others.
The HUM Ensemble is the performance branch of Harmony and Universality through Music (HUM), an Indian nonprofit organization founded by Sandeep Das in 2009. In addition to its performance activities, the organization also funds a scholarship for the artistic studies of visually-impaired children in India.
