An Indian Summer Festival: Circles and Cycles Evening Rāg

1st July
Attenborough Arts Centre, University of Leicester, Lancaster Road, Leicester, LE1 7HA

Immerse yourself in an enchanting evening of Indian classical music that traces the enduring beauty of circles and cycles-echoing through rāg, rhythm, and resonance.

This special performance explores the continuous flow of musical patterns, where beginnings dissolve into endings and return again, much like the cycles of nature and life itself.
Renowned tabla virtuoso Ustad Sukhvinder Singh Pinky brings intricate rhythmic compositions to life, weaving dynamic patterns that pulse with energy and precision. Alongside him, Kaviraj Singh offers a soulful blend of santoor and voice, unfolding melodic landscapes that rise, return, and transform.

Together, the artists create a dialogue between melody and rhythm, tradition and improvisation-guiding listeners through an immersive journey of sound. Experience the meditative power of repetition, variation, and cyclical form in an intimate setting where every note connects, returns, and renews.

This is An Indian Summer event, produced by Inspirate.

Age Recommendation: This event is more suited to adult audiences, children must be supervised by parent/carers
