Shen's News: I had a really nice concert with Nepali bansuri player Manose near Byron on Friday, and he and I have a sudden booking - we are playing this Friday Feb 29 at the Sai Baba Temple (1614 Sandgate Rd Virginia). Manose is a lovely bansuri player and very entertaining. Please come along!
There are a lot of other good Indian classical events in the coming weeks - this Saturday night I highly recommend Pravaahee at the Old Museum with touring artists from India: a Kathak dancer, vocalist, tabla and harmonium.
