The Story of North Indian Classical Music

Mahesh Kale, Vocal performer

Monday Night Philosophy takes another look at the connections between ideas and music, this time by analyzing the classical music traditions of India. Kale is not only a classical vocalist but also sings the semi-classical forms like Thumri, Dadra, Tappa, Bhajans, Bhavgeet and Natyasangeet. He will take us through the journey of Indian classical music, elucidating the nuances and peculiarities of the forms of classical music from the Vedic period to the current classical, semi-classical and collaborative forms, providing a basis for better appreciation.
