Simon Thacker's unique nine piece East/West group The Nava Rasa Ensemble perform the final movement of Nigel Osborne's The Birth of Naciteka for guitar concertante. Based on a Hindu myth, the piece was recently premiered on an acclaimed UK tour and will be released on CD later in 2010. Hear previews at http://www.myspace.com/navarasaensemble. It continues Nigel's search for an Indian classical modernism.
