Join one of Indian classical music’s most acclaimed vocalists, authors, and cultural critics, Krishna, to explore Carnatic music’s evolution, challenges, and possibilities in the 21st century.
 

Known for challenging orthodoxies while deeply honouring the tradition’s essence, Krishna brings his insights to crucial questions: How can Carnatic music expand while preserving its spiritual core? What social and cultural barriers must be dismantled for this art form to flourish? How might new technologies and global influences reshape performance?

This extraordinary lecture demonstration combines Krishna’s analysis with musical illustrations, revealing the potential of Carnatic music in today’s world. Whether a seasoned rasika or new to South Indian classical music, this session will transform your understanding.
