Indian Classical Music Appreciation Course
A slow-burn, nostalgic indian classical night.
A one-day immersion into the raga and tala systems that have shaped the world's oldest evolved musical tradition. This interactive workshop strips back the layers of Indian classical music to reveal how it works. Participants will learn to hear the architecture inside a raga, follow the rhythmic cycles of tala, and discover the role of improvisation in real-time composition. The session explains the structure of a live Hindustani concert, from the slow alaap to the climax. Sitarist Harmeet Singh Virdee and tabla player Sukhdeep Dhanjal lead the course, walking attendees through North Indian notation and listening skills designed to deepen the experience of live performances.
