Percussionist Rohin Khemani and saxophonist Max Wild introduce school children to the concept of music as a universal language. Performing on the exotic combination of Indian tabla and jazz saxophone, they introduce their instrumentsÍ respective musical languages and show how different cultures can converge in music. East Meets West is a unique interactive performance that demonstrates how music can express feelings, individuality, and give the experience of working together as a group.
