The Ensemble was founded in 2011 by Annette Philip, the first Indian music faculty member at
the Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA), a world renowned collective known for honoring its
Indian roots while boldly experimenting with a cross-pollination of genres, and multi-disciplinary
art. The ensemble boasts over 300 million RUclips views and has organically transitioned from
a university ensemble to a professional band.
Featuring over 400 students and alumni from 52 nations, the ensemble has collaborated with
some of the world’s most celebrated musicians such as Pt. Zakir Hussain and A.R. Rahman.
In a world that is highly divided, Philip sees the band’s function as one of building bridges; a
free-wheeling approach to musical cultures that prioritizes the people who make them, rather
than the restrictions of genre or form. “There is a unique power when musicians from different
cultural and musical backgrounds make art together with vulnerability and openness in a space
that celebrates their similarities and differences….The music that gets created in this space
comes across viscerally and allows a song in a foreign language to feel completely relatable
because of the human connection, making you want to be part of it.”
