About

Narotam Horn is a composer, pianist, and improviser whose music brings together contemporary classical structures, jazz improvisation, and bhajan melodies rooted in Bengali folk traditions.​
 
Growing up between cultures, with religious parents who were devotees of the Hare Krishna movement, Narotam was immersed in the devotional music of West Bengal from an early age, while also undergoing rigorous training in classical piano and composition.​
 
A graduate of the Purcell School, where he studied under Dai Fujikura, and Goldsmiths University (MMus, Distinction), where he studied with Roger Redgate, Narotam’s music is shaped by both spiritual and formal disciplines. These foundations have grounded his practice and helped cultivate a distinctive musical language that bridges spirituality, contemporary composition, and jazz improvisation.​
 
Recent performances include Remembering by Arpita Singh at the Serpentine Gallery (2025), LOAM with Ninon Ardisson for the British Textile Biennial (2025), We Are Float’s Piano Day at the National Gallery (2024), and the V&A’s Digital Design Weekend (2023). In March 2026, Narotam’s new string quartet will premiere at the New World Center in Miami in collaboration with musicians from the NWS Orchestra, and the kirtan music group, The Mayapuris.
 
​On April 10th 2026 Narotam will release his album No Mud, No Lotus via iXi Records.
