Samay is a unique collective of musicians exploring new ways of understanding and making music.

Taking the traditional music of India as a base for constructing original arrangements and improvisation as well as using their previous experience in jazz and various world folk styles the musicians create a distinctive sound so far unknown to the western or eastern world.

“Freedom of the Soul” will include 60 Halle musicians, 6 solo Indian instrumentalsists, a scottish harp, accordian and 30 choral singers.
