School Matinees return for music, rhythm, and storytelling with Sunny Jain

Enter a world where heart, motion, and mind all groove together in perfect harmony.

The career of Sunny Jain is a celebration of cultural diaspora: deep-rooted tradition that ripples outward, changing—and being changed by—the cultures that it touches. He is a composer, drummer, dhol player and thought leader. Jain recently created his theatrical music memoir, Love Force, developed as an Artist-In-Residence and Visiting Scholar at Wesleyan University; and has been announced as a 2025 commissioned artist by NYC cultural pillar Soho Rep. His band and same-named album Wild Wild East (Smithsonian Folkways) has performed across the country to acclaim, and can be found on the NPR Tiny Desk Concert series, along with his seminal global party band, Red Baraat. He also joined Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding, The Musical, as Music Producer, and was the Music Director for The Jungle and for Lincoln Center's 60th anniversary celebration.

“A global musical alchemist and cultural agent provocateur.”
