What is the Art Explorer?
During the lockdown across the world, we innitatited the Unlock the Music concert series with an audience across 100 countries. The Arts Explorer Tool is created by Saskia Rao - de Haas to make online concerts more interactive. The tool helps you to explore the concert in a new, interactive way. Find out more about the artists and music itself, and create your own painting, article, or poem while listening to the music. It doesn’t matter if you are new to the music or not, what age you are, or where you come from: the Art Explorer tool allows you to explore your own artistic persona in a new and surprising manner. Follow the simple steps to become an Art Explorer and do share your new creation with us.

Season 1 Highlights
The concerts were dedicated to the memory of the great Bharat Ratna Pandit Ravi Shankar (1920-2012). We celebrated his centenary year with this wonderful series as a personal homage to one of the greatest artists the world has ever seen.
'We can never pay enough tribute to the greatness of this artist, whom I am fortunate to call my Guru. There is not a moment that passes that he is not present in my life!'
Shubhendra Rao
