Music Discourse | Sumathi Murthy - Friday 5th @ 19.00


An evening of Khayal and Thumris
By
Sumathi Murthy
  
Hindustani classical musician and composer

She will be accompanied on the tabla by Pandith Guru Murthy Vaidya
and on the harmonium by Sri. S.R. Ramakarishna

Though the Agra Gharana style is understood to be a very masculine style of singing some artists like Zohra Bai Agrawali have explored this genre in a very different way. Agra Gharana is known for its delineation by building structures of the khayal to help listeners understand the lyrics and the emotions. It is creates an abstract visual experience.
