The Ketevan World Sacred Music Festival located in Old Goa combines musical traditions from different eras from the East and the West. It is a project of musical and artistic coexistence; a space where the language of music becomes a bridge to connect and foster dialogue among cultures.
Paolo Pacciolla, pianist, percussionist, and ethnomusicologist, teaches ‘Ethnomusicology’ at the Corso di Musiche Extraeuropee of the Conservatorio di Musica of Vicenza. A member of the Italian Association for Sanskrit Studies, he is the author of the monographs ‘Il pensare musicale indiano’ (Besa, 2005) and, together with Luisa Spagna, of ‘La gioia e il potere. Musica e danza in India’ (Besa, 2008).
With dancer Luisa Spagna, with whom he founded the cultural association Sutra Arti Performative, he presents an original performance based on the classical repertoire of India.
