Experiencing Lucian Balmer’s ensemble Spruce Ritual is to feel a greater depth of humanness, heart, and soul. 

Through sublime melodies and intricate compositions, they take the listener on a heartfelt musical journey.

They take the wisdom, knowledge, and spirit of two great traditions ancient cultures: eastern Hindustani music and western classical music and infuse it with their own sacred spirit to create music that is achingly beautiful, human and transformational.

“SPRUCE RITUAL: THE WAY THE EVENING SPEAKS is a wonderfully original, musically masterful and evocative album. Lucian Kano Balmer has united skillful playing with soulful longing, and the results speak volumes.”
