In her Friday Funda talk, Nush shared her journey with the harp and how being a music educator has changed her life and made her an advocate for the art. She also showcased her prodigious talent by playing the harp in a magical performance.

Harpist in the House!
30 November 2012
Nush Lewis (hailed as Marie Claire India’s exciting young talent of tomorrow) is a contemporary Indian harpist who has trained at the KM Music Conservatory in Chennai. She has lived and worked between Chennai, Mumbai, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. With three self-produced ‘bedroom’ singles in the form of ‘Blue Nails’, ‘Bright Orange Tea Cups’ and the appraised Shaai’r + Func mash-cover of 'Freeze You/ My Roots’, Nush’s music is influenced by the different cities she has lived in and the people she has met. Her sound is dominated by a feeling of darkness and surrealism which gives the harp a slight turn from what it traditionally is.
