Morning ragas. As this system of Indian classical music is not only set to seasons\, it is also set to times of day\, so certain melody forms or Ragas can only be performed at the prescribed time. As the musicians tour the world playing this music it is common that the audiences are mostly exposed to evening ragas. So this is a rare opportunity to experience the morning music. \nThis concert will be very relaxed\, the audience is encouraged to dress in comfortable clothes and bring a cushion\, or use the seating provided of course. There will bear sick packs and chai available as an add on to the ticket price\n ( check link ). So come and enjoy some Sunday Morning Music and take a break from the hectic world. Once again there will be projections\, this time Sunrise of the Ganges\, that has been specifically designed by Sarangi student and artist Annabel McLure.
