new composition "Stele VI Alaap for Ashok," a memorial composed a month ago in response to the recent death of a long-time mentor, artistic collaborator and friend, eminent Indian musicologist and composer Ashok Ranade.

for chamber orchestra that has been played around the world by leading
new music ensembles.
Performed by Grammy- award winning Indian classical sarangi player
