The most incredible performance I have ever seen Both Mike and Sandeep have incredible stage presence and chemistry together
The fusion of cello and tabla by the two great artists was incredible esp with the music pieces prepared and put together, great and sincere effort to connect with audience through interspersed humor, humility and camaraderie; and the solo pieces of either instrument was very captivating. The music scene in Boston area is superb, the fact that one can access performances of global artists such as Mike Block and Sandeep Das at locals events is a privilege.
I would have celebrated Mike Block's birthday in a phone booth if that's where it was schedulesd. My wife and I are total fans. But this was an incredible evening in a beautiful venue I hadn't visited. MIke played with his band (of course, and always great), with fiddlers from blue grass to symphonic, with guest artists from around the country and globe, and of course with tributes to his young daughter and hisbiggest fan and amazing fiddler- Hanneke. Spacious seating at tables, elevated views of the stage, very comfortable and masked during these times. I think we should celebrate Mike's birthdays of 40+ one week, 40+ two weeks... you get it.
