Pandit Nayan Ghosh & ARAJ
equinox – morning raga
about
Pandit Nayan Ghosh is a phenomenon. The legendary Ravi Shankar described him as one of the best Indian musicians ever. Pandit Navan Ghosh is exceptional in that he plays both the tabla and the sitar – two very different instruments – with equally mastery. To mark the equinox together with his son Ishaan (also a skilled tabla player) and his group ARAJ, Pandit Nayan Ghosh will play a morning raga in which both the classical Indian repertoire and more modern styles of Indian music are represented.
about the project
Twice a year, night and day are of equal length everywhere in the world, with the sun directly above the equator and the southern and northern hemispheres receiving exactly the same amount of sunlight. This astronomical phenomenon is known as the equinox. For many cultures, these are moments of particular spiritual significance. To mark the spring equinox, Klarafestival in partnership with Bozar is organising a weekend that revolves around spiritual music, with Iranian and Persian music represented as well as Christian traditions.
