When Akkarai Sisters, Jayachandra Rao and Shree Sundarkumar visited Sweden for performances with Beches Brew in 2016 they also gave some concerts of pure Karnatic classical music that impressed the Swedish audiences. We are happy to make their stunning concert at the Royal College of Music, Stockholm available to music lovers everywhere.
