Festival Details

An NCPA Presentation

Supported by Citi

The Indian subcontinent abounds in a variety of musical instruments and a considerable specialisation is displayed in instrumental usage. Instruments present music solo, provide melodic or rhythmic accompaniment or produce drones.

The 12th edition of this two-day festival will showcase four independent groups of instrumentalists led by female artistes wielding instruments of different categories—percussion (pakhawaj, tabla, ghatam, mridangam, kanjira), string-plucked (rudra veena and saraswati veena) and air-blown (bansuri/flute, morsing).

On each day, Dr. Suvarnalata Rao will present a pre-event talk on specific instruments presented on the respective days.

Box Office now open.
