Australian percussion artist Ben Walsh, currently on a five-city tour of India, is set to perform exclusively for street children and later engage them in a master class here.
Walsh, known for his trademark high energy drumming style brings with him a brand new show ‘Loop Zero’ blending live music with multimedia installation that he will be performing for over 100 street children at the Salaam Baalak Trust here on 28 June.
The event is part of the SoundSchool a series of global Australian music events and initiatives aimed at raising money to purchase musical instruments, teaching aids and tuition for underprivileged children.
Last year four of Australia’s famous rock band, Jinja Safari, Sheppard,
The Aston Schuffle and Big Scary had played at the orphanage.
‘It is a great feeling for the kids who get to spend time with famous musicians and get to learn from them as well. Last time when the bands from
Australia came over we had a good audience and this time the kids are enthusiastically looking forward to the event,’ says Tanya.
The SoundSchool at Salaam Balak Trust, started in November 2010, is an initiative which seeks to give the children an opportunity to learn, explore, and enhance their musical talent and capabilities.
Walsh, whose India lineup includes performances in Mumbai, Pune, Banglaore and Hyderabad will conduct a masterclass for the children before his gig in Delhi.
