Renowned tabla and jazz musician Sameer Gupta and his trio will perform in Claremont, a part of the partnership between WCCMA and BarnArts.

That week, he will be visiting area schools and WCCMA as part of their fall Global Music residency. Gupta’s unique musical sound blends traditional and modern improvisational styles, drawing from his dual Indian and American heritage. His compositions offer a truly multi-cultural experience that bridges countries and continents.

Presented by the West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts. With support from our fall season sponsor, Monadnock Mills, LLC.

Sameer Gupta (b. 1976) has created a unique musical sound by combining traditional and modern improvisational styles, drawing from his dual Indian and American heritage, and has already established himself as an original voice in music today. Gupta did not begin mastering the tabla until well into his jazz career in the early ‘00s, and now he continues to compose and perform music from a true multi-cultural perspective that bridges several continents.
