GemArts

GemArts is an award-winning arts organisation and a nationally recognised leader in the South Asian and diversity arts sector. We’ve worked together for more than 20 years, most notably on the long-running Riverside Ragas series, bringing world-class Indian classical musicians and South Asian artists in folk, jazz and contemporary genres to our stages.
Through this new partnership, we’ll host six performances a year, including the Masala Festival, and collaborate on exciting new projects such as the Orchestral Qawwali Project – a critically acclaimed blend of Sufi poetry, Indian Classical Dance and orchestral arrangements.
“We’re thrilled to be joining The Glasshouse as an Artistic Partner. We’ve worked together for many years, but this partnership takes things to a new level, giving South Asian artists a platform on one of the region’s biggest stages and connecting even more people through music.”
Vikas Kumar, Director at GemArts
