Young composer Kaiden Surti’s musical background straddles two worlds, both Western and Indian Hindustani classical music. His new work “Nidhivan” for violin and clarinet is inspired by a sacred temple at night. Joined by clarinetist Brian Walsh, Kaiden will inspire you with his skill and imagination!
Music has the unique ability to bring joy to our lives – especially in the hands of young people. Daily Joy is a reminder of music’s power to uplift, inspire, and unite.
Daily Joy is a project of From the Top. It began in the very early days of the Covid-19 pandemic and continues today to offer a much-needed respite from the anxiety and worry that we encounter in the world.
From the Top is a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating the stories and artistry of young musicians through media and leadership programs. Learn more.
From the Top is grateful to the Richard K. Lubin Family Foundation for their generous support of Daily Joy.
