World-renowned vocalist Pt. Jasraj will take us on a musical journey sure to stir the soul!
It's not everyday that we get a chance to witness legendary artists sharing not only their music, but the deep devotion and intense spirituality that moves them. Here at ICMA, and on the occasion of Janmashtami (birthday celebration of the Lord Krishna), we're really fortunate to have an opportunity to share an evening of music that transcends time and place with the doyen of Indian Classical Music, Padma Vibhushan Pandit Jasraj. Known for his soul-stirring and ethereal renditions, tremendous range, and countless contributions to the field of Indian Classical Music, Pandit Jasraj will take the stage, accompanied on Tabla by the great virtuoso Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, for a special concert that is sure to please folks of all backgrounds and musical tastes. And what better venue for this once-in-a-lifetime concert than the iconic and majestic Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco? Don't miss your chance to be a part of a unique evening of soulful music and rare glimpses into the devoted life of a truly world class artist! Click here for details...

Two Traditions. Three distinguished artists. One magical evening.
ICMA invites you to join us for a rare treat of Indian classical music – "Two Traditions" ...bound together by one soul! Dhrupad - a form of Nada Yoga (yoga of sound), is an ancient and disciplined style of presenting Raga, that is deeply rooted in the Vedas and transports you back to a timeless space, giving you a spiritual experience. Khayal - a more modern adaptation, finds greater scope for improvisation without detracting from the grammar of the Raga. It is this stark contrast and striking similarity of these two preeminent genres, that we at ICMA, wish to present to you in this unique two-part concert. Come join us to see first-hand how Dhrupad and Khayal are at once so fundamentally similar, yet unique in the emotional appeal and atmosphere they elicit.
"Dhrupad: the soul of sound" will be showcased by The Gundecha Brothers, the impeccable duo and torch bearers of this oldest vocal genre of Hindustani classical music in practice today. "Khayal: the seed of thought" will feature the highly coveted and supremely melodious Dr. Prabha Atre, one of the senior-most living legends of Indian Classical Music. Click here for details...
