Two of the world’s foremost practitioners of traditional Indian music will share their gifts at this exquisitely textured Queensland Music Festival event.
The double bill features Dr Lakshminarayan Subramaniam, a virtuoso of traditional Indian violin, and distinguished Hindustani vocalist Kalapini Komkali.
Deeply spiritual, effortlessly transcendent..the music of India will, through these major world music figures, touch souls, broaden horizons and bind audiences.
Dr Subramaniam – whose dual mastery of western classical styles and Indian violin has earned him the titleViolinis “Emperor of Violinists” – performs alongside his son Ambi, a child violin prodigy, and two percussionists.
Backed by tabla and harmonium players, Kalapini Komkali maintains the musical legacy of her renowned parents – classical singer Vasundhra Komkali and the hugely influential voal innovator Kumar Gandharva.
