The evening begins with the transcendent bansuri of Chaurasia, heir to the legendary Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. His breath control turns bamboo into an instrument of extraordinary emotion. Experience the cascading waterfalls of his fast taans, the delicate nuance of his meend, and the soulful depth of his alaap as he explores ancient ragas with reverence and innovation. His bansuri pairs perfectly with Samsi's tabla, a disciple of Ustad Alla Rakha and a renowned percussion virtuoso.
