Raj Rangayyan and Utpal Mazumdar present Mystical Melodies

The ragas that form the basis of the classical music of India evoke moods, feelings, and sentiments in ways not experienced with other types of music. Why and how do the mere acoustical wave patterns of musical notes affect us in such profound manners? How can the signatures of ragas etch distinct melodic and spiritual messages in our minds? In this concert to launch their latest CD album, Raj and Utpal present a collection of enigmatic ragas and mystical melodies, each one of which creates a particular mood and conveys a unique sentiment. Come! Immerse yourself in the serene and soothing ambience of ragas on the bansuri and tabla. In addition to the enchanting music, you will be treated to visual delights: Come to view the exquisite artwork of Ranjini Devender and Chandra Jadav.
