Dhrupad Sisters

Ancient Meditative Music of North India
Monday, October 7, 2019 - 8:00pm
Recital Hall, Music Building

Please join us for the Dhrupad Sisters Guest Artist Recital on Monday, October 7th at 8 pm in the Recital Hall!  Dhrupad is one of the oldest forms of Indian classical music.  Singers present compositions and improvisations set in traditional rāga-s using unique vocal techniques to create a hypnotically meditative effect. The Dhrupad Sisters are the world’s FIRST all-female dhrupad troupe.  They have trained with India’s leading dhrupad exponents, the Gundecha Brothers, to represent the Dagar lineage of singing, which dates to the 15th century and is known for its rich timbre and nuanced intonation.
Vocals: Amita Sinha Mahapatra & Janhavi Phansalkar
Pakhawaj (Percussion): Anuja Borude

Free admission to all!
