Musician

He/Him

Gurpreet Chana is a student of music, engineering, composing, & performing live. Informed by the language of the Tabla, his multi-instrumental musical practice seeks to engage melody and rhythm as a way of supporting interpersonal communion.

For Virtual Enhanced Citizenship Ceremony Gurpreet will be performing a short piece with the Hang. The Hang (pronounced Hung) is an instrument that brings sounds from many worlds and cultures together; blending steel drum acoustics with the hollow bass of the South Indian Ghatham and African Udu drum. It is the creation of Felix Rohner and Sabina Scharer, originating 23 years ago from Bern, Switzerland.

Each Hang is individually handcrafted with a particular tuning or scale.
