Classical Indian Music with Blackstone Parks Conservancy
2022-09-11 18:00 - 19:30 (Africa/Abidjan) | 2 River Dr, 2 River Dr, Providence, RI, 02906, us
***See registration instructions below!***
Classical Indian Music with Ajit Acharya, tabla, and Srinivas Reddy, sitar.
At Blackstone Field, across from the Narragansett Boat Club (2 River Drive, Providence, RI 02906). Bring a blanket!
To register for the event please click here.
The classical music of India is an improvisatory art music tradition with roots in ancient philosophies and yogic practices. Today there are two distinct classical systems: the southern Carnatic tradition and the northern Hindustani tradition. Srinivas and Ajit are practitioners of the Hindustani genre, which they learned from their respective teachers in the traditional master-disciple mode of apprenticeship. The Hindustani music tradition is unique in its rich blend of Indian and Islamic aesthetics.
All classical music of India is based on two fundamental concepts of melody and rhythm, known respectively as raga and tala. Ragas are melodic landscapes that encode specific musical parameters related to note combinations and embellishments as well as non-musical guidelines regarding the intended mood and time/season of a given performance. Ragas evolved from the voice but can be expressed on any melodic instrument. The exposition of a raga is further accompanied by the complex polyrhythms of various talas as realized on the tabla drum.
This evening Srinivas and Ajit will perform a medley of early evening ragas set to a variety of talas.
