House Concert: Sangam (The Confluence)
Come Join Ra-Ve for our House Concert: Sangam (The Confluence), a free evening of Indian classical music. Presented by Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation, Sangam brings together the two great traditions of Indian classical music: Hindustani from Northern India and Carnatic from Southern India, in a thoughtfully curated program that explores their unique voices while celebrating their shared roots.
The evening begins with a Hindustani ensemble performance, featuring Sohan Sadhu on flute, Rajesh Bhat on tabla, and Ruthu Hegde on vocals. Rooted in improvisation and expressive musical dialogue, the Hindustani tradition reflects centuries of artistic exchange across North India, Persia, and Central Asia. The program then transitions into the Carnatic tradition of South India, known for its rich compositions, rhythmic complexity, and structured musical forms. This segment features Vidya Ramachandhiramani on veena, accompanied by her daughter Aksharaa Luxman on vocals in a special mother-daughter performance.
The evening concludes with a captivating Carnatic vocal performance by Dr. Priya Ram, whose voice highlights the depth, precision, and emotional beauty of South India’s classical tradition. Whether you are a lifelong listener or discovering Indian classical music for the first time, Sangam offers a rare opportunity to experience these traditions side by side in an intimate concert setting.
This event is free, registration required.
