EE Mohamu | An evening of exquisite Padams and Javalis.

Leela Samson (Bharatanatyam) and Savita Narasimhan (Vocals) with KP Nandini (Violin), Sujith S Naik (Flute) and Mannarkoil J Balaji (Mridangam).

Padams and Javalis are rare gems in Carnatic sangeetham. Both in the world of sangeetham and Bharatanatyam they seem to be historically shy perhaps because they are a challenge to render requiring the kind of steadfast rigour that is given to few to pursue. The artists present a few gems from the tradition before you so that you too may relish what they love and wish to share.

The performance will be followed by a discussion between the artists and Bangalore based Bharatanatyam dancer Lakshmi Gopalaswamy and Carnatic vocalist Aishwarya Vidhya Raghunath.

Donor passes available at Skillbox. Limited seats.

Date: May 18
Time: 6.30 pm onwards
Venue: Sabha BLR
