Madhav Chari
Ted Lo

Emerging from two regions rich in musical tradition come two profound pianists playing improvisational jazz at its finest.

Madhav Chari has worked with celebrated names in the international arena like Max Roach, Lester Bowie and David Murray. Leaving his mathematics PhD programme to become a fulltime jazz musician proved to be a "well-calculated decision" as he has emanated to be one of India's greatest jazz pianist-composers.

Ted Lo, one of Hong Kong’s finest jazz pianists, has performed with Herbie Hancock, Al Cooper and the Ron Carter Quartet, among other greats.

Both Chari and Lo developed and advanced careers as pianists in New York, working with some of the best in jazz along the way. In this exciting performance, the two artists' unique worldviews - encompassing a unique blend of cultural and musical influences - come together and connect in jazz.
