Sama Arts Network

Sama Arts Network is one of the UK's oldest and most influential arts organizations in the genre of traditional and contemporary South Asian arts. It also presents orchestral, jazz, and world music. Established in 1977, Sama has curated more than 500 events with acclaimed artists from the UK and other parts of the world. These have included tours, concerts, festivals, educational talks, workshops, seminars, lecture-demos, film screenings, and visual and performing arts. More on www.sama.co.uk. Many concerts were filmed and recorded by Navras Records (navrasrecords.com), co-founded by the Artistic Director in 1992. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life have enjoyed the events. Audiences have ranged from a few dozen for the intimate acoustic concerts to several thousand at larger venues. Many more continue to listen to or view the recordings. Founded by the Artistic Director and existing CEO, Sama has now put together a new team with skills in event management, marketing, sound engineering, and curating arts events.
