Midnight Ragas with Kala Ramnath & Jayanthi Kumaresh

Barbican Centre

Two artists from different ends of the Indian classical spectrum share a single stage. The first half belongs to Debanjan Bhattacharjee and his sarod – a fretless, deep-toned instrument he pushes into rare territory with his pioneering ‘Dhrupad Sarod’ concept, applying the ancient dhrupad style of playing (India’s oldest classical form) to an instrument more commonly heard in lighter, khayal-based settings.
