The gaayaki-ang (singing-style) of violin aims to capture the nuances, subtleties, and intricacies of the human voice as used in the vocal traditions of North Indian music. For many musicians gayaki ang is the ultimate, purest, and most spiritual form of music and they aspire to play their instrument with the versatility of the human voice. Jagan Ramamoorthy, a disciple of Dr. N. Rajam who pioneered this form will perform a solo concert in this rarely heard style. He is accompanied by the tabla master Abhiman Kaushal (disciple of his father Shree Kaushalji), with Sheela V. Bringi on tanpura. Several ragas in the classical North Indian style will be performed by this ensemble, including a collaborative piece by Ramamoorthy and violinist Elisabeth Waldo, a composer and ethnomusicologist who is the founder and creative director of the MultiCultural Music and Art Foundation of Northridge.
