Daughter of a Temple

A woman crouches in front of another woman who is kissing her forehead, showcasing a moment of care and companionship.

ganavya shares a transcendent live journey through Daughter of a Temple – an immersive blend of spiritual jazz and South Asian devotional music.

New York-born, Tamil Nadu-raised singer and transdisciplinarian ganavya – 'among modern music's most compelling vocalists,' (Wall Street Journal) – is 'the singer whose work feels like prayer…with listeners hanging onto her every word' (New York Times).

In this special performance, she draws from the prayers of her seminal 2024 recording Daughter of a Temple (one that featured esperanza spalding, Shabaka Hutchings, Vijay Iyer, Immanuel Wilkins and more), an album that was named BBC 6 Music Album of the Year by Gilles Peterson and 2024’s Top 10 Best Global Albums by The Guardian, which wrote that it had 'the power of communal harmony to touch something deeper than song.'

This performance will feature special guests, to be announced.
 

This performance may contain haze and strobe.

Stage times will be confirmed closer to the event.

Produced by the Barbican.

Generously supported by Trevor Fenwick and Jane Hindley.
