Rutgers IJS Presents: Charu Suri at Clements Place Jazz 🎶 Presented by the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University

Experience an evening of transcendent jazz as award-winning pianist and composer Charu Suri brings her genre-defying sound to the intimate stage of Clements Place Jazz in Newark, NJ.

Charu Suri is a trailblazer in the jazz world, known for blending traditional jazz with Indian ragas, classical motifs, and global rhythms. As the first Indian-born jazz composer to premiere work at Carnegie Hall, her music is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Her ensemble delivers a rich tapestry of sound—meditative, soulful, and rhythmically compelling.

Expect original compositions from her acclaimed albums like Raga Jazz, Book of Ragas, and The New American Songbook, alongside improvisational explorations that push the boundaries of jazz tradition.

Whether you’re a jazz enthusiast or curious explorer of global sounds, this performance promises a night of musical storytelling, cultural fusion, and artistic brilliance.
