One extraordinary evening. Two classical traditions
FIRST HALF
Akkarai Sisters
Patri Satish Kumar
Ghatam Udupa
Be transported by the virtuosic bow work of the acclaimed Akkarai Sisters as their violins dance through intricate South Indian ragas with breathtaking precision and emotional depth. Their melodic conversation finds perfect rhythmic counterpoint in Patri Satish Kumar's masterful mridangam playing and the earthy, resonant tones of Ghatam Udupa's clay pot percussion. Experience the mathematical complexity and spiritual fervour that defines the Carnatic tradition.
INTERVAL
SECOND HALF
Ruchira Kedar
Yashwant Vaishnav
Tanmay Deochake
After the interval, journey northward as Ruchira Kedar's stunning vocals unfold the ornate tapestries of khayal singing in the revered Gwalior-Jaipur style. Her voice - in turn delicate and commanding - explores the emotional landscapes of North Indian ragas, supported by Vaishnav’s sensitive tabla accompaniment and the harmonic foundation of Deochake's harmonium.
