Description

Sitar virtuoso Kartik Seshadri and tabla artist Arup Chattopadhyay perform an evening of classical Indian music.

Kartik Seshadri is a leading sitarist, composer and teacher. He was noted as a child prodigy in India. He began studying under Ravi Shankar in 1974 and is currently a professor at the University of California, San Diego where he heads the Indian Music Department by leading sitar classes.

Arup Chattopadhyay is an Indian tabla player who started learning tabla at the age of six from his father Pt. Pankaj Chattopadhyay, who himself is a renowned tabla player of Bengal. His performances are admired for their tonal quality, crystal clear sound of bols (tabla syllables) even at an electrifying speed, and tremendous sense of rhythm and melody. He was awarded the top-grade by All India Radio and Television (All India Radio and Doordarshan). Since 1998 he has been a visiting lecturer of tabla at the University of California, San Diego.

Doors open at 2:30pm.
