The eleventh edition of the London International Arts Festival (LIAF) is a celebration of the capital’s most exciting music and culture presented in a hybrid manner with seven concerts and two workshops in 3 venues of London & four concerts being streamed online from India. The festival will feature an eclectic line-up of performing artists and industry professionals in a series of live & virtual events.
Curated by the South Indian violinist Jyotsna Srikanth, LIAF 2022 (www.liaf.co.uk) celebrates the many colourful cultures of the global music scene. 2022 handpicked line-up spotlights the best up-and-coming world music bands alongside masters of the South Indian classical world.
LIAF is hosted by Dhruv Arts, a UK-based not-for-profit organization that provides music education and workshops for all ages along with performances of South Asian, Carnatic and world art forms. (www.dhruvarts.org)
The first LIAF took place in 2012 and has since featured artists from across the globe; India, Mexico, Serbia, Turkey and North America to name a few. Alongside world-class concerts, LIAF offers hands-on masterclasses providing a crucial platform for cross-cultural and multi-generational artistic interaction.
Festival founder, curator and violin virtuoso Jyotsna Srikanth explains; ‘What started as a desire to showcase the best of South Indian Carnatic music has expanded into a far richer tapestry of music and arts originating from different continents’
LIAF 2022 is supported by Arts Council, England.
