Experience an extraordinary evening of music with legendary South Indian percussion maestro Trichy Sankaran, one of the world’s greatest mridangam players, live in concert. At 82 years old, Sankaran continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his unparalleled rhythmic mastery, creativity, and vitality.
Joining him are virtuosic musicians: Carnatic flautist Raman Kalyan, vocalist Vidyasagar Vankayala, percussionist Curtis Andrews (a long-time student of Sankaran), guitarist Jared Burrows, and bassist Dave Soutar-Spidel.
Together, they will present a mesmerizing blend of traditional South Indian (Carnatic) music and contemporary jazz, featuring original compositions by Trichy Sankaran and Curtis Andrews, as well as stunning arrangements of Carnatic classics. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness the magic of Indo-Jazz fusion and the brilliance of these world-class artists, live in the Lower Mainland. A true celebration of rhythm, melody, and cultural collaboration!

Time Will Tell Arts Society (TWTAS) is registered a not-for-profit performing arts society, dedicated to promoting multicultural artistic expression from traditional, neo-traditional and original sources, with a focus on rhythm, primarily emanating from South Asia and Africa, but not limited to those geo-cultural areas. This mandate takes the form of supporting and producing workshops, concerts, lecture-demonstrations and collaborations with other organizations and artists, with the aim of promoting historically underrepresented and/or misunderstood cultural expressions.
Our work takes many shapes, including supporting and producing concerts, workshops, lecture-demonstrations and collaborations with other artists and organizations, locally and internationally. We have been in existence since 2013 and produce events yearly, featuring a broad cross-section of artists, cultures, ensembles, partners, and interests.
We have been fortunate to have regularly received funding from the City of Vancouver, the BC Arts Council, SOCAN Foundation, BC Gaming, Metro Vancouver, the Canada Council for the Arts and TD Then and Now.
We live, work, and play on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations, also known as Vancouver, BC.
A sample of some of our major events since inception is below. Beyond these concerts, we also work with master artists to offer workshops for the general public, as well as for institutions and other community organizations, such as the Vancouver School Board, New Works Dance, and City of Vancouver.
