Sat 16 Feb Stafford: Saraswati Puja Concert - Saikat Bhattacharya + Shen

Hi folks,

Shen's News: Things are definitely hotting up again after the summer madness. I have a very special concert in honour of Goddess Saraswati with sitar player Saikat Bhattacharya this Saturday. There are a lot of good Indian classical music performances coming up too - mark down Feb 22 (Ocean Shores), Feb 23 (West End), March 1 (Old Brisbane Museum - big dance performance!) and March 8 (sitar/vocal duet from India)! Also this week please check out Tashi Lhunpo Monks at the Judith Wright Centre.

In other news, Sri Saileshwara Temple in Virginia are going to be holding a free natural therapies day on 24 February from 10am to 4pm. Full info here.
