A not infrequent frustration in my life (one among
many but this is not the forum :) is how often I find
that I've just missed a concert by someone I'd like
to see - A R Rahman in New York, Bikram Ghosh in
Nottingham to name but two and these are the ones that
I know I've missed. So I wondered if this list could
serve as a channel for notifications of upcoming events...
So for those lucky enough to be in New York:-
There is a 'Music Festival of India' in the latter
half of September. It includes:-
Vilayat Khan with Zakir Hussain and others on Sep 13th
(A must, surely!)
Wasifuddin Dagar singing Dhrupad on Sep 25th
T.N. Krishnan & N. Rajam on Oct 10th
Ram Narayan & Family on Nov 1st
Shobana & Company dance on Nov 15th
Full details are at:-

There is also music from other parts of the world
and all in all it looks to be a rather interesting
series, if you happen to be in New York....
Also in New York:
There is a benefit called Healing the Divide which
includes Anoushka Shankar along with Philip Glass,
the Kronos Quartet, Foday, Muso Suso, and others,
as well as the Dalai Lama:-

Now if someone in New York or Bangaalore would tell
me what is happening in Nottingham I'd be much obliged
