About the show

New for 2026: Join us on a journey around 'Our Music Planet'. A festival of four world music concerts, celebrating the sounds, melodies and rhythms of the music, and showcasing a veritable smorgasbord of classical/traditional instruments, from different regions of the world. This is music that everyone can enjoy!

We begin in the Indian sub-continent with intricate, melodic and soulful classical Raagdhari music originating from Northern India, showcasing Sitar, Sanoor and Tabla. Weaving together melodic improvisations, rhythmic cycles, and soulful compositions, the ensemble creates an immersive listening experience that transcends cultural boundaries.

The performance will take us on a journey through the intricate world of ‘classical’ Raagdhari music that originated in Northern India and dates back many centuries. Raagdhari music is mainly melodic rather than harmonic, and consists of a basic melodic line played or sung against complex patterns of rhythm. The melody is founded on a raga (Sanskrit for colour or passion), comprising a series of five or more musical notes, and evoking various moods in the listener and performers, while the rhythm is called tala (clap or beat). The concert will transport you on a soulful journey through a selection of beautiful ragas.
