Add to my Calendar 15-11-2025 19:30 15-11-2025 21:30 36 London Ragas Fusion: Flute, Piano, Tabla & Ghatam in Dialogue This November, London welcomes a truly special evening of Indian Classical Music at Duke Hall, Royal Academy of Music. On 15th November, London Ragas Fusion brings together four celebrated maestros, each carrying a world of tradition and innovation in their art. At the heart of the performance is Pandit Ajay Prasanna, three-time Grammy-nominated flautist and one of India’s leading bansuri exponents. His music carries both lyrical serenity and creative brilliance, a sound that has travelled across continents and genres. Alongside him is Shahbaz Hussain. A renowned and accomplished tabla virtuoso, Shahbaz is considered one of Europe's finest players, known for his dynamic and intricate performances in Indian classical music and fusion projects. They are joined by pianist Rekesh Chauhan, an award-winning pianist renowned for seamlessly blending Indian Classical Music with Western instruments, and RN Prakash, a master of the South Indian Ghatam whose earthy, clay-pot rhythms bring texture and vitality to the ensemble. Together, these four artists create a confluence of sound where North and South India meet, and East and West flow into harmony. But this evening is more than music; it is also an invitation to pause, reflect, and experience the healing resonance of sound. For centuries, Indian classical traditions have regarded music as a form of meditation, a means of restoring balance within ourselves and within our communities. In today’s world, these timeless practices remind us of the profound connection between music, mental health, mindfulness, and emotional well-being. As the bansuri breathes, the piano sings, the tabla speaks, and the ghatam pulses, the hall will transform into a sanctuary of rhythm and melody. Whether you are a long-time listener of Indian classical music or discovering it for the first time, this evening offers not just performance but renewal—a chance to feel uplifted, connected, and restored through the universal language of music. Doors open at 7:00 PM, with music starting promptly at 7:30 PM.Audience Policy: * Unauthorized filming or photography is not permitted. * The use of mobile phones (including texting and silent mode) is not allowed during the event.
