13.01.2023 on WDR3: Premiere of "Fast Ride in an Auto Rickshaw" with the WDR Funkhausorchester conducted by Frank Strobel

Yati’s work for the WDR Funkhausorchester, as part of the Composer’s Mentorship programme, is Fast Ride in an Auto Rickshaw for large orchestra, and will be world-premiered in a 1pm lunchtime concert on January 13th, 2023 at the WDR Funkhaus on Wallrafplatz 1, 50667 Köln, Germany and simultaneously broadcasted live on WDR 3 culture radio. This short orchestral work is part of Yati’s imagination of a busy city in India, when racing through the city - while thinking about Carnatic ragas, in this case, the raga Kalyani.
