Reena Esmail is a builder of bridges—figuratively. The Los Angeles-based Indian-American composer works at the unique intersection of Indian and Western classical music to bring the two worlds together in a melodious collision.

I am proud to share that Zvelle is collaborating with the Bedford Trio and buying out the first concert of their new season. This is the first time we have done this. We will be inviting our loyal Zvelle customers to join us on November 14th for an evening exploring the music of cinema and film. Without the patronage of our customers we would not be in a position to do this so it gives me great joy to thank our customers and celebrate musicians at the same time.
