It is a profound honour to announce my upcoming performance at the Ismaili Centre, Toronto. Sharing the stage with the legendary Tabla maestro, Pandit Anindo Chatterjee. It is a deeply humbling milestone in my musical journey.
Join us for "Raaga Darshan," an immersive double-bill evening presented by Small World Music and Aga Khan Museum. I am thrilled to open the night alongside Pandit-ji, followed by another performance by the brilliant Rakesh Chaurasia and amazing Amit Kavthekar.

Some evenings stay with us for a lifetime.
Yesterday at the 6th Riyaz Festival, the hall was full — but more importantly, the hearts were full.
Shirshendu Mukherjee ’s () Yaman Kalyan, my journey through Hindol Hem and Hemant, and our historic Sarode–Vocal duet in Bihag and Desh created a musical flow I will always remember.
My heartfelt gratitude to the Riyaz Institute of Hindustani Music, to Ravi Naimpally ( ) for his exceptional artistry on the Tabla, to Madhura Londhe for her beautiful accompaniment on the Harmonium, to Ashish Sabne for hosting with such warmth, and to Gandhaar Amin for taking such excellent care of the live sound.
And my thanks to every listener whose presence made the evening come alive.
Toronto embraced us beautifully last night. ❤️
