An enchanting evening of Indian Classical Music with Maestro Ustad Kiranpal Singh, playing the ancient string instrument, SANTOOR.

THIS SUNDAY! October 13th · 6 – 8pm PDT

Dearest friends,

On this auspicious evening of the conclusion of Navaratri Festival (a celebration of the powerful and loving forms of Feminine Consciousness), you are being welcomed to an enchanting evening of divine INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC with SANTOOR Maestro Ustad Kiranpal Singh ji (Senior Disciple of Padmavibhushan Pandit Shivkumar Sharma ji), accompanied by Hriday Buddhadev ji on TABLA.

In ancient texts, the Santoor (a hammered dulcimer) has been referred to as shatatantri vina (100-stringed vina) used to accompany folk music, played in a style of music known as the Sufiana Mausiqi. Some researchers slot it as an improvised version of a primitive instrument played in the Mesopatamian times (1600–900 B.C.). Sufi mystics used it as an accompaniment to their hymns. Pandit Shivkumar Sharma ji (Guru of Ustad Kiranpal Singh) is credited for introducing this instrument to Indian Classical Music. The one-hour-long rendition of Raga Yaman at his first live performance in 1955, left his audience in Mumbai shouting ‘Encore!’. Bridge & Enrich is honoured to present his senior disciple’s offering on Santoor accompanied by Tabla percussion. Please join us this Sunday evening!
