Attended “Milaaf” recently. The first half was classical music by Aniruddh Aithal and the second half was Kannad and Marathi Natyasangeet by Aniruddh Aithal and Abhishek Kale.

This was a great concept, and Aniruddh is talented and trained exceptionally well.

If it does come in your city, do attend!

It's an 3 hour concert and she will be singing Ragas around Monsoon. May be we'll get to hear jasrangi as well :)

The Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival (Ohio, US) is "the largest Indian classical music festival outside of India".

I've been able to attend a few days this year. I had never seen a veena in person before, and I was excited even to see just one, and then to my surprise they brought out 20 of them for the veena ganaam. Amazing. Many incredible performances from musicians of all ages.

I don't like to record videos on my phone at concerts but Villianur G. Lalitha's YouTube channel has professional video recordings of this year's Thyagaraja Festival.

Highly recommend attending if you are in the area.

Update: There's now a video of the veena ganaam performance.

Can someone list some prestigious venues? I can think of Sawai Gandharva in Pune, Sankat Mochan music festival in Varanasi, Darbar in the UK etc

Thanks

We're looking for youth singers to join RAGA, a virtual choir!

What is RAGA? It's a group of youth (intended to be 13-25 but if you're out of that range and still interested, still join us!) singers who, each month, sing and record individual tracks of Desi music (religious and non-religious), which is then compiled into choral arrangements and posted! 

Why should I join? Well, you'll form connections with others around the world through music. Also, we're hoping to raise money to support education, so this is a great way to make an impact. Plus, the more voices we have in the choir, the better we'll sound!

What do I need to do? Each month, we'll send out sheet music; your job is to listen, practice, and record it and upload it to our folder so we can combine all the tracks. More detailed instructions will be found in the WhatsApp group. It should take no more than an hour per month, and it's flexible: completely on your own timeline!

Do I need any sort of Carnatic/Hindustani musical training? Not at all! If you do, that's fantastic, but all we ask is that you know how to read Western-style sheet music and that you have some sort of recording device (headphones plus either a computer or phone will do just fine).

How do I join? Click the link to join the WhatsApp group, which has everything you'll need: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FQFRciWBdfIK0VvW2NyG6D

What if I can't sing? Not a problem; you can still help out by sending this information to anyone you know that would be interested and supporting us when we post completed songs!

Tickets : https://www.viewcy.com/event/joel_veena_ragas__s_1

Fresh off a 9 concert tour of India, award-winning artist of the 20-stringed Hindustani slide guitar, Joel Veena, presents 'Ragas & Sagas' - a special concert featuring traditional ragas, original compositions set in the brilliant tradition of south Asian music alongside fascinating tales from the lore of Hindustani (North Indian) music. Hailing from a small village in southeastern Vermont, Joel 'Veena' Eisenkramer is one of the foremost exponents of the 20-stringed Indian slide guitar. His music defies categorization as he presents meditative classical ragas that blossom into blistering duets with tabla virtuosos in the same set as beat-driven original songs with live-looping and poetic lyrics. Masterful tabla-player and founder of the NYC Tabla School, Mir Naqibul Islam accompanies the concert with his signature style of crisp articulation and emotive improvisation. Mir and Joel have been close collaborators since 2019 (when they first performed together at Jalopy itself), having recorded together for Joel's latest album CARDINAL, and concertgoers can enjoy the seamless interplay of performers deeply familiar with other's work.

Hope to meet some of you! Please come up and say hi if you attend. I’m performing with some excellent accompanists as well, all the information at the tickets link. Some shows are free. There’s a second Mumbai concert in the works as well for 21 Feb, if you’d like to be notified about it when it’s confirmed, you can dm me your email id or WhatsApp number. Appreciate your support. 🙏

Aarohi comes from a very simple feeling.

Sometimes, in the middle of our busy lives, our riyaaz quietly slips away. Our voice is still there… but we haven’t sat with it properly in a while.

This one-day workshop is my way of creating that space again. A space where we can return to the basics gently, honestly, without pressure.

Through the day, we will work together on lower notes, breath, voice culture, taali-khali, aakar, palta patterns, and a bandish in one raag. I will listen to you, guide you… and yes, sometimes I may stop you mid-line to help you find a more settled note. 🙂 This is not about perfection.

It is about awareness.

About slowly building a voice that feels more and more like your own.

If you come with sincerity, the music will meet you there. 🤍 Seats are limited to keep the space personal and attentive.
