跨界小提琴手 Harpreet Bansal｜印度／挪威

對Harpreet而言，傳統音樂是養份，不是目的──她手上的小提琴，是劇場空間中流竄噪動不安的古老靈魂，從跨界的實驗對話中，碰撞出新的靈魂和語彙。1980年挪威出生，Harpreet自小受音樂家父親的印度古典音樂，以及西方古典樂兩種截然不同的音樂文化啟蒙蒙與訓練。自挪威音樂學院畢業後，拜當代西塔琴大師Ustad Ashraf Sharif Khan Poonchwalas以及小提琴大師Dr. L. Subramaniam為師，此後自組同名樂團展開音樂巡迴。她是新生代中最受矚目的印度小提琴手，不但靈活悠遊於印度古典音樂，更勇於跨界嘗試不同領域，開拓跨媒界的藝術型態，許多民謠、爵士、舞者、電子音樂知名好手爭相合作的跨媒界獨立藝術家。（音樂節獨奏演出，請點擊 MORE ►）
