Experience the mesmerising beauty of Hindustani classical music. This 90-minute concert will feature the exceptional talents of Satwinderpal Singh on the sarangi, an instrument renowned for its vocal-like quality, and Pandit Sanju Sahai on the tabla, whose rhythmic prowess will bring the music to life.
The concert will adhere to the traditional structure of a Hindustani classical performance, offering a journey through the evocative world of ragas—musical frameworks that express different emotions and times of day. The evening will commence with an alaap, a slow and contemplative introduction to the raga, where Satwinder Pal Singh’s sarangi will gently explore the melodic contours of the chosen raga. This portion is unaccompanied by rhythm, allowing the artist to fully delve into the raga's mood and essence.
The interaction between the sarangi and tabla, will be the heart of the performance, showcasing the intricate dialogue between melody and rhythm. The concert will build towards a thrilling climax, highlighting the technical brilliance and emotional depth of both musicians.
"Ragas with Soul" is designed to be an immersive experience, accessible to both newcomers and seasoned listeners of Indian classical music. Whether you are exploring this genre for the first time or are well-versed in its nuances, this concert promises to leave you captivated by the soulful sounds of the sarangi and the dynamic rhythms of the tabla. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness two masters at the height of their craft.
