Event Description

The Sarangi is India`s original fiddle, an ancient instrument, unique among all bowed instruments for its voice, construction and style of playing. The instrument’s tone has great sensitivity, a remarkable range, and is very close to that of the human voice. The Sarangi now stands firmly on its own as a solo instrument in modern Hindustani Classical Music due to Harsh’s Grandfather Padma Vibhushan Pandit Ram Narayan’s efforts. Panditji has single-handedly lifted the Sarangi from the shadows into the forefront of Indian Classical solo instruments, while developing the instrumental repertoire from the Khyal singing / vocal tradition. Come and witness this versatile instrument and hear the rare solo-nature of the performance, as is the Narayan tradition. Performed by Shri. Harsh Narayan ( Hindustani Classical Sarangi artist ) he is the grandson of the legendary Sarangi maestro Padmavibushan Pt. Ram Narayan and son of Sarod maestro Pt. Brij Narayan. He performs with Shri Kedarnath Havaldar ( Hindustani tabla artist) who is son of Pt.Dr.Nagraj Rao Havaldar.
