Event Description

off/BEAT is a new kind of festival- a way to redefine the experience of arts and culture by taking them beyond traditional venues and into Bengaluru’s historic, heritage-rich spaces.   

During these two weeks, we will illuminate the National Gallery of Modern Art, Panchavati, Sabha and more, and hold intimate dance, music and theatre performances with them as the backdrop. We invite you to join us in exploring and engaging with the city’s rich legacy in a fresh, immersive way.   

About Guru Shishya:   

The state of Karnataka is unique for being a region that has had deep roots with both Hindustani classical as well as Carnatic music. Prior to independence, North Karnataka was an integral part of Bombay Presidency and parts of the Kingdom of Mysore were annexed to the Madras Presidency during British rule. First Edition Arts presents the past and present of these cultural exchanges in this series of concerts. 

The programs will have guru/shishya pairings that bring forth repertoire, compositions and lesser known composers from the state before a contemporary audience. These concerts seek to help inform audiences about the unique aspects of both Hindustani and Carnatic music as it is practiced in this region.    

The Guru Shishya series is presented by First Edition Arts.
