Next to Indian classical music, Saskia's varied experiences in world music include:
  • Member of Jewish Klezmer group di Kalle;

  • Experiments with the Flamenco guitar;

  • Theatre work with guitarist Erik Vaarzon Morel;

  • Several projects in European folk music;

  • Performances at prestigious venues in Holland, Germany, France, Hungary and India.

These have won her a unique place in the field of World Music as well.
