Robert Morris

Professor of Composition from Eastman College of Music, Rochester, NY, Robert Morris visits Chennai during the season whenever his schedule permits. Deeply perceptive of Carnatic and Hindustani music, Bob can be spotted at concerts at various sabhas. This year, he arrived late due to poor weather in Europe and his Facebook status says, “Got to India two days late, but the trouble was worth it. I've already heard two lectures and three concerts of Carnatic music.” A sought-after composer in Western classical music, Bob will astound you while humming ragas such as Anandabhairavi or Reetigowla.
