Diwali on the Coast - Adrian McNeil and Bobby Singh present Indian Classical Music
A special Diwali performance celebrating Classical Indian music.
Doors will open at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start and the concert will finish around 9.00 pm.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Melodic notes and scintillating rhythms flow between the instruments like a lively and often thoughtful conversation. This performance is based within the Raga (melody) and Taala (rhythm) system of Classical Indian music.
