SUMMARY:Prabhat Rao - Sacred Song from the Subcontinent
DESCRIPTION:Prabhat Rao is a leading khayal vocalist based in London\, recognised for his ability to communicate the depth of classical music to diverse audiences. He has performed at the Barbican\, Southbank Centre and Edinburgh Fringe\, and is currently pursuing doctoral research at King’s College London. For this special evening concert\, he gathers an ensemble of vocalists and instrumentalists to explore the devotional traditions of Indian classical music. \nIndian classical music has deep roots in spirituality—ragas were historically associated with specific times of day\, seasons\, and emotional states believed to align performer and listener with natural and cosmic rhythms. This extended programme draws on that heritage\, featuring compositions whose lyrics address the divine alongside purely melodic explorations. The evening format allows for deeper raga development than lunchtime concerts permit\, giving audiences the opportunity to experience how a raga unfolds over time—from its first tentative phrases through to its full elaboration. \nPerformers: \nPrabhat Rao – Khayal vocalist \nPulkit Sharma – Tabla \nSiddhiie Kapshikarr– Harmonium \n

SUMMARY:Kaviraj Singh Dhadyalla - A Santoor and Jori Recital
DESCRIPTION:Kaviraj Singh Dhadyalla Born and raised in Britain\, he is unusual in performing both santoor and khayal vocals within a single concert. In 2008\, he became the youngest artist to headline at Darbar Festival. He is joined by Jasdeep Singh on jori—a pair of drums from the Punjabi tradition. \nThis concert showcases how a raga can be expressed through different mediums. Kaviraj may begin on santoor\, establishing the raga’s mood and characteristic phrases\, then shift to voice for a bandish (composition) that reveals the same raga through lyrics and vocal ornamentation. The jori provides a distinctive rhythmic foundation—its sound is deeper and more resonant than tabla\, rooted in the devotional music traditions of Punjab. Audiences will hear how melody and rhythm constantly interact\, building towards climactic exchanges between soloist and percussionist. \nPerformers: \nKaviraj Singh Dhadyalla santoor & vocals\nJasdeep Singh jori \nThis concert is in partnership with St Martin-in-the-Fields for their seasonal Lunchtime concerts.
