Darbar: Jyotsna Srikanth and Abhiram Sahathevan

Experience the vibrant sounds of South Indian classical music with a lunchtime concert featuring virtuoso violinist Jyotsna Srikanth and mridangam player Abhiram Sahathevan. This concert brings the beauty and depth of Carnatic music to a diverse audience, offering a rich tapestry of melody and rhythm. 

Audiences can expect an enthralling recital where the Carnatic violin and mridangam weave together intricate melodic lines and complex rhythmic cycles. The violin, played in the distinct South Indian style, resonates with soulful interpretations of ragas (melodic frameworks), taking listeners on an emotional journey from introspection to joy. Jyotsna’s playing is marked by fluid improvisation, technical prowess, and a deep connection to the traditional roots of Carnatic music. Accompanying her, Abhiram on the mridangam – a double-headed drum essential to South Indian music – provides the rhythmic foundation, adding dynamic interplay and accentuating the nuances of each composition. 

This concert is curated by Darbar Arts Culture Heritage Trust, producers of the Darbar Festival.
