Offline and Online Carnatic Music Vocal and Veena classes

06/15/2026

Come join Ra-Ve for our House Concert: Sangam (The Confluence), a free evening of Indian Classical Music at The Momentary's RØDE House Stage on August 23, 2026.

Presented by Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation, Sangam brings together the two great traditions of Indian classical music. Hindustani from Northern India and Carnatic from Southern India in a thoughtfully curated program that explores their unique voices while celebrating their shared roots.

The evening begins with a Hindustani ensemble performance, featuring Sohan Sadhu on flute, Rajesh Shreedhar Bhat on tabla, and Ruthu Hegde on vocals. Rooted in improvisation and expressive musical dialogue, the Hindustani tradition reflects centuries of artistic exchange across North India, Persia, and Central Asia.

The program then transitions into the Carnatic tradition of South India, known for its rich compositions, rhythmic complexity, and structured musical forms. This segment features Vidya Ramachandhiramani on veena, accompanied by her daughter Aksharaa Luxman on vocals in a special mother-daughter performance.

The evening concludes with a captivating Carnatic vocal performance by Dr. Priya Ram, whose voice highlights the depth, precision, and emotional beauty of South India's classical tradition.

Whether you are a lifelong listener or discovering Indian classical music for the first time, Sangam offers a rare opportunity to experience these traditions side by side in an intimate concert setting.

Date: Sunday, Aug 23, 2026
Venue: The Momentary’s RØDE House
Tickets: Free Admission
Time: 3:00 P.M. – 4:30 P.M.
Door Opens: 2:30 P.M.

We'd love to invite you to our Sangam for a day of Indian classical music and community. Seating is limited, so we encourage you to reserve your place today.

🌸 Nandanar Charithram – “En Appan allava” 🌸

A deeply moving composition from Nandanar Charitram

This piece expresses the innocent surrender of Nandanar, who sees Lord Shiva as his compassionate father — “En Appan allava” (“Is not my Father kind?”).

The lovely depth of the gamakas of the veena so beautifully add the depth to one’s longing that resonates with Nandanar’s emotions - to receive his grace this Mahashivarathri !

Wishing you all a wonderful and blessed Mahashivarathri 2026!

என்னப்பன் அல்லவா என் தாயும் அல்லவா
நீ என்னப்பன் அல்லவா என் தாயும் அல்லவா
பொன்னப்பனல்லவா பொன்னம்பலத்தவா
பொன்னப்பனல்லவா பொன்னம்பலத்தவா

சொப்பனமோ எந்தன் அப்பன் திருவருள்
சொப்பனமோ எந்தன் அப்பன் திருவருள்
கற்பிதமோ என்ன அற்புதம் இதுவே
கற்பிதமோ என்ன அற்புதம் இதுவே

ஆடிய பாதனே அம்பல வாணனே
ஆடிய பாதனே அம்பல வாணனே
நின் ஆழ்ந்த கருணையை ஏழை அறிவெனோ

Student of Sadhana fine arts - Ms. Ashwika Vikranth , a 7th grader , demonstrating Tala avadhana with Tisra Rupaka and khanda eka tala.

Even though both cycles equal 5 aksharas, your brain must track:
• different gesture patterns
• different internal rhythmic feel
• vocal alignment

That is exactly what avadhānam trains:

Split rhythmic attention without tala collapse!

Doing all three builds:
• rhythmic independence
• internal subdivision clarity
• laya stability
• stage confidence

This is true coordination training, not just counting.

Kudos on attempting this Ashwika !
