Berklee Indian Ensemble

Grammy® Nominated Berklee Indian Ensemble is one of the hippest new acts to emerge from Boston. A global viral sensation with over 300 million streams, the Ensemble melds classical, folk, Sufi, and contemporary Indian music, with influences ranging from hip-hop and jazz to Middle Eastern and African flavors. 

Iconic live concerts with immersive technology, collaborations with Grammy-winning legends, headlining international festivals, and hosting global music workshops; the Berklee Indian Ensemble is taking the world by storm. Their debut album, "Shuruaat" nominated for Best Global Music Album features 98 musicians from 39 countries, including Indian music royalty, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Shreya Ghoshal, Shankar Mahadevan and Vijay Prakash.

Founded in 2011 by Annette Philip, the first Indian musician appointed as a faculty member at Berklee College of Music, the Ensemble always asks two questions: "What if?" & "Why not?" - Up next: multi-album plans, stadium concerts, and a world tour.
