About this concert
Khyal: A Tapestry of Traditions is a musical journey into the rich, evolving world of khyal, the preeminent genre of Hindustani classical vocal music. Presented by renowned khyal virtuoso Samarth Nagarkar, this concert explores khyal as a dynamic amalgamation of India’s diverse vocal traditions, such as dhrupad, qawwali, thumri, and various folk and devotional styles. Through shared repertoire and stylistic patterns that reveal a cross-pollination of these traditions, this performance celebrates khyal as a living tapestry. Nagarkar will be joined by eminent musicians, Dr. Suhail Yusuf Khan on Sarangi and Shankh Lahiri on tabla.
