An evening of sacred music with Indian harpist, vocalist and bamboo flautist Sheela Bringi & Friends. Experience lush, modern renditions of Indian devotional ballads (bhajans), traditional call-and-response chanting (kīrtan), and sublime North Indian musical modes (rāga). Your spirit will be uplifted, centered and soothed by the ethereal strings of the harp and dilruba... the ecstatic rhythms of the tabla and bass... and the earthen winds of the bansuri and harmonium.
