– A playful and exploratory musical encounter
The essence of classical Indian music is celebrated as bansuri player Rupak Kulkarni, sitarist Rohini Sahajpal and tabla player Niti Ranjan Biswas unite and convey their musical heritage.
What the three musicians have in common is their relationship with Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. Rupak Kulkarni is one of the most renowned bansuri maestros and he is also one of Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia's senior students. Rohini Sahajpal is one of Scandinavia's foremost Indian sitar players and a student of Charuasia, while the sought-after tabla player Niti Ranjan Biswas has played with Chaurasia on several occasions.
The three played together at Melehuset in December and the audience at Oslo Mela can look forward to a musical encounter characterized by an experimental, playful and creative approach to Indian classical music.
