ABOUT TENZIN
One of the world's finest Tibetan musicians, Tenzin Choegyal’s cantering rhythms, soaring vocals and exquisite flute solos have enchanted audiences around the globe. A son of Tibetan nomads, he feels a particular connection to the music of the Himalayan plateau and remains dedicated to preserving Tibet’s musical traditions. At the same time, he effortlessly embraces diverse genres and musical styles, bringing Tibetan music firmly into a contemporary setting. He collaborates with artists from all streams of contemporary music including major works for stage and film with Philip Glass and his Grammy-nominated album Songs from the Bardo with Laurie Anderson.
As Tenzin often remarks, sound has no boundaries. “I liken music to drifting clouds that fly freely over the man-made geographical borders in this infinite space of possibilities.” He sees music is a universal form of communication and a powerful medium for cultural exchange. “Performing gives me a stage where I can connect with others, raise awareness of important issues and encourage mutual understanding of the diversity of humanity.”
For Tenzin music is life, no matter where he is. “Music has the ability to express one’s personal chronology as we move through different stages of life. My music has evolved through my own journey from Tibet to India to Australia and around the world. But wherever I am in the world, my music also connects me to my homeland of Tibet.”
