Memorial Chapel, Wesleyan University
Free admission
Pianist Gayathri Khemadasa, cellist Anupa Khemadasa, and guitarist Banning Eyre will perform a concert of selections from "Phoolan Devi," an opera composed by Gayathri, a Sri Lankan composer who is currently a Fulbright Professional Scholar at Wesleyan University (2011-2012). Gayathri studied classical piano at the Prague Conservatory, and has been performing in Prague since 2005. She plays melodic contemporary classical music, enlivened by Sri Lankan folk and classical roots. Gayathri's father, Premasiri Khemadasa, was Sri Lanka's leading composer of classical Sri Lankan music.
