Jugalbandi is
the unusual art of weaving multiple voices into
an interactive ensemble format. This trio of
sitar, sarod and tabla is the first India/USA
ensemble of Hindustani classical music to conduct
an international tour. Firmly grounded in traditional
forms the ensemble's music is guided with a contemporary
neo-classical spirit while maintaining the integrity
and depth of the Indian ragas. From serene meditations
to virtuoso flights of improvisation and rhythmic
dynamism these artists express music from the
heart in the moment.
As disciples of the legendary
'godfather of world music' Pt. Ravi Shankar,
Partho Sarathy on sarod and Paul
Livingstone on sitar perform ragas in the tradition of the
Maihar Gharana and are joined by one of India's
leading tabla players Abhijit
Banerjee.
Enjoy
an evening of classical evening ragas that move
from the quiet meditative invocations of pure
melody through dynamic interplay and virtuosic
polyrhythmic climaxes.
