What to Expect
Experience Navarasa, the nine emotions, through Raga, Bhava, and Abhinaya (melody, mood and expression)
About This Event
Music has a unique way of bridging the distance between us. For this Navarasa program, we bring together a group of artists from vastly different musical worlds to explore NINE human emotions through sound.
Our ensemble blends the traditional resonance of the Sitar, Tabla, Mridangam, and Kanjira with the modern energy of Keys, Electric Guitar, Drums, and Bass. This collaboration is lead by Prithvi Mattur and is a testament that we can create something far greater than ourselves when we set aside our differences, be it of the different instruments, styles and diverse cultures we grew up with.
We are united by a simple goal: to express the depth of the Navarasa and celebrate how music brings people together.
