POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED
Join us once again and immerse yourself in an atmosphere resonant of an era where court musicians performed for royalty in Indian palaces.
These are intimate concerts, like that of a palace music chamber, giving the audience and musicians an opportunity to connect, ask questions and speak to the inspiration and history of the music being shared. Enjoy the deep meditation that only classical Indian raga can bring!
On May 20th we will have a concert featuring:
Steve Gorn (Bansuri)
Mir Naqibul Islam (Tabla)
Doors open at 6:30pm, the event starts at 7:00PM - 9:00PM
This event is a $30 suggested donation. All funds go to support the musicians and future programming at the Golden Drum. No one will be turned away for lack of funds and we appreciate your support!
