This brother-and-sister duo from Nashville, Tennessee, are award-winning multi-instrumentalists who astonish audiences with their refreshing, soulful blend of old-time, roots, and bluegrass music. Giri and Uma may be young, but their musicianship and vocal harmonies showcase a creativity and originality beyond their years. Their musicianship has attracted the attention of roots music star Rhiannon Giddens and banjo greats Abigail Washburn and Bela Fleck, among others. 

This concert is made possible by the Marianne Tobias Music Program at Eskenazi Health and presented in conjunction with the Lotus Education & Arts Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Bloomington, Indiana (est. 1994). Its mission is to create opportunities to experience, celebrate, and explore the diversity of the world's cultures, through music and the arts. The Foundation’s flagship program is the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival, which takes place in the fall in Bloomington. The Festival is one of the oldest world music festivals in the U.S. and attracts more than 12,000 attendees and nearly 30 artists from all over the world.
