In a rare and remarkable collaboration, GRAMMY®-nominated sarodist Alam Khan — son of the legendary Ali Akbar Khan — joins forces with one of South Africa’s most innovative guitarists, Derek Gripper. Together, Alam and Derek explore the heights of spontaneous creation, re-imagining great African songs and Indian melodies in a virtuosic meeting of plucked strings within Grace Farms’ light-filled and fully glass-enclosed performance hall within the River building.
The two first met in 2025 over a cup of tea, a meeting that led to a spontaneous trio recording with South African guitarist Guy Buttery. Alam went on to join Derek in concerts with Derek’s long-time collaborator, the great Malian kora virtuoso Ballaké Sissoko, and then in an intimate duo recording session in the hills of Berkeley, California.
Alam and Derek focus on their respective immersions in deep classical traditions: Alam brings a long apprenticeship under his father, mastering the infinite art of raga improvisation within the Indian classical tradition, Derek, originally trained in European classical and early string music, has spent years translating the complex language of the West African kora to the guitar. Through this long study of the 21-string harp, he developed a unique language of cyclical improvisation, breaking out of the bounds of composed music and using the polyrhythmic possibilities of classical guitar technique to re-imagine the beginnings of sound in string music, from harps and bows of the African continent.

Experience a Grace Farms Lecture by artist, scholar and advocate Dr. Hannah Rose Thomas with a performance by a chamber ensemble of the London Philharmonic Orchestra
Dr. Hannah Rose Thomas has established a portrait painting practice, harnessing art as a tool for advocacy. Her work has received critical acclaim, with exhibitions in prestigious places, including Buckingham Palace, the UK Houses of Parliament and the Saatchi Gallery. Through her portfolio of portrait paintings, she seeks to elevate the voices of the marginalized and prescribe dignity to the persecuted and forcibly displaced. To do so, Thomas incorporates early Renaissance and iconography painting techniques into her work.
Central to Thomas’s practice is an understanding of portraiture as an act of gifting – an offering of attention, dignity, and presence that honors the irreducible humanity of each individual. Her work also reflects a deep ethic of hospitality, creating space for encounter, listening, and relational exchange between artist, subject, and viewer.
The concert continues this dialogue through music, with a chamber ensemble of the London Philharmonic Orchestra performing a program responding both to Thomas’s work.

Simone Morris Enterprises to Honor Six Leaders and Teams at Its Signature Awards Celebration in Norwalk, CT
Join us on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, for an evening of recognition, connection, and community at HMTX in Norwalk — celebrating the leaders and teams who make room for everyone.
Now in its fourth year, the Inclusive Leadership Impact Awards (ILIA) brings together leaders, changemakers, and community members to honor the people building workplaces and communities where everyone belongs. The evening features the awards presentation alongside food, beverages, live music, and networking with a room full of leaders committed to inclusive impact.
This year's celebration recognizes six honorees across six categories:
<ul><li>Senator Bob Duff — Luminary Award</li><li>Natasha Agarwal — Visionary Voice Award</li><li>Breion Moses — Inclusive Leadership Business Impact Award</li><li>Dr. Isaac M. Adusu — Community Leader of the Year</li><li>KCSNY Home Delivered Meals Team — Community Team Award</li><li>Aditi Gaddam — Next Generation Inclusive Leader Award</li></ul>
Ten percent of ticket proceeds will support Women's Mentoring Network, a Connecticut nonprofit that empowers women through long-term mentoring, skills workshops, and educational support — continuing an ILIA tradition of giving back to a local community partner each year.
"Inclusive leadership isn't a slogan — it's the daily practice of making room for people, and this year's honorees live it,"said Simone Morris, Founder and CEO of Simone Morris Enterprises and creator of the ILIA Awards. "ILIA exists to recognize the leaders and teams doing that consistent, often quiet work, and to remind our community that when everyone belongs, everyone benefits."
