Experience a true ‘Mehfil’ - a purposefully small intimate setting for South Asian classical music - where a musician and their audience aim to reach the ‘rasa’ – a state of engagement when they become ‘one’ in emotion and intent. Often played to the appropriate time of the day and night, here at the Mehfil – e – Rose Hill, they will play alongside genre defying new creations.

zerOclassikal - Emerging Artists:

Amisha Karsan Sitar and Junaid Ali Tabla

Shayan Saqib Sarod and Junaid Ali Tabla

Aparna Raguraman Violin and Abhiram Sahathevan Mridangam

Diksha Murli Vocalist and Sarang Ravindra Tabla

Start the weekend at our Mehfil – e – Rose Hill experience with four distinct performances from seven artists, from the north to the south of South Asia. You will hear raagas on three sitar, sarod, veena and using the human voice from emerging UK artists performing south Asian classical music. The tabla and mrindangam drums will provide accompanying exciting and improvised percussion.

 

The Mehfil Space is an innovative initiative to promote and develop purposefully intimate gatherings for South Asian Classical Music.
