Event Description

What if music could quiet the world around you?

Step into an evening of calm, beauty, and tradition with Dhrupad; the oldest form of Indian classical vocal music still performed today.

Rooted in the Dagarvani style, this performance offers a deep, meditative experience. Rich vocal melodies meet the earthy rhythm of the Pakhawaj, creating an atmosphere of calm, clarity, and deep listening.

Each note is sung with grace. Each rhythm unfolds with purpose. 

This evening of Dagarvani Dhrupad invites you to slow down for a night of pure, powerful listening.

His notable collaborations include performing with A.R.
