“An intimidatingly strong guitar player,” Rafiq Bhatia is “one of the most intriguing figures in music today." Making his Penn Live Arts debut alongside pianist Chris Pattishall, Bhatia marries emotional intensity with musical virtuosity in his embrace of jazz, rock, electronica and Indian influences. Performing the world premiere of a Penn Live Arts commission as well as music from his recent album, “Bhatia is writing his own musical language,” where “sound becomes contour; music becomes something to step into rather than merely follow.” (The New York Times)
