About the show
To mark the launch of Earth Rising: Messages from the Pale Blue Dot Volume II (release date: 24 September 2026), Artangel is holding two performances with Volume II artists this autumn.
For the second performance, Nitin Sawhney presents a new work unlike any he has created before. Staged in Hackney's Round Chapel, it invites audiences into an unusually close encounter with one of Britain's most distinctive creative voices.
Accompanied by Aref Durvesh (tabla and dholak), Eos Counsell (violin), Shapla Salique (vocals), Ashwin Srinivasan (bansuri flute & vocals), YVA (vocals) plus a string sextet, Nitin Sawhney will present the title piece and then develop the evening's performance with improvised spoken word and further musical performances from his extensive catalogue.
Featuring - Nitin Sawhney
Since 1999 and the release of his ground-breaking album, Beyond Skin, Nitin has successfully navigated a career in the arts that can only be described as polymathic. The British composer, producer, songwriter, album artist, club DJ, broadcaster, multi-instrumentalist and orchestrator holds six honorary doctorates, two fellowships, an honorary degree, the 2017 Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award and most recently a CBE.
Nitin Sawhney has some 50 movie scores to his name, the most recent being the Netflix/Warner Bros Mowgli. Directed by Andy Serkis and starring Christian Bale, Benedict Cumberbatch and Cate Blanchett, Sawhney wrote the full original score for the film.
