WMI Plus At Home - Sunny Jain with Samita Sinha
WMI PLUS At Home experiences bring music from around the world into the comfort of your home. Renowned artists share their lives, instruments, and stories from their personal environments, bringing an intimacy and uniqueness to each event. These talks are led by fellow musicians, journalists, and ethnomusicologists. Live captioning will be provided during the event.
We are thrilled to provide these events for FREE. If you are able to make a donation of any amount while registering for this event, it will help us to keep the music playing. THANK YOU!
Monday, August 11, 2025 – 6 PM EST
WMI Plus At Home Experiences are free of charge, but you must register to reserve your space. You will receive an order confirmation once your registration is complete that includes the link to the event. Only registered participants will receive email instructions on how to join the event via Zoom online. Bring your questions! The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with attendees posting their questions electronically for live answers.
Just ahead of headlining our 40th Anniversary Free Season Opener at Bryant Park on August 15, Brooklyn-based bandleader, composer, dhol player, and drummer Sunny Jain sits down with artist and composer Samita Sinha for our first WMI Plus At Home session of the season! Sunny’s latest project Wild Wild East (Smithsonian Folkways Recordings), explores the immigrant experience as the true American cowboy story. Samita Sinha creates multidisciplinary performance works that unravel Indian vocal traditions through the body to create a decolonized, multi-faceted language of voice and vibration.
