CITI – NCPA Aadi Anant: From Here to Eternity
The two main branches of Indian classical music—Hindustani and Carnatic—are similar in their fundamental approach to melodic and rhythmic organisation (raga and tala), yet they are distinct traditions; distinguishable based on some concepts, styles and forms, poetry and song repertoires, intonation, ornamentation, and instrumentation. The Carnatic tradition is predominantly practised in the five southern Indian states.

Medea
Opera Screening- An NCPA – The Metropolitan Opera (New York) Presentation
Luigi Cherubini was an Italian-born composer who lived most of his adult life in Paris. With its world premiere taking place at the iconic Théâtre Feydeau, Paris, in 1797, Cherubini’s Medea is a fiery retelling of a seminal Greek myth. Medea is as compelling as it is disturbing, never more so than when the title character enacts her revenge on her unfaithful lover by taking the lives of their two children. Cherubini composed the opera at the tail end of the French Revolution, and as such, it fills a musical and dramatic gap between the noble gravitas of 18th-century theatre and the more visceral beauty of later Romantic operas.

Shankar Mahadevan with Siddharth and Shivam Mahadevan
CITI – NCPA Aadi Anant: From Here to Eternity
The world of Indian music is rich with diverse traditions, forms and genres; from primitive to folk, devotional, popular, classical, semi-classical and contemporary music. Besides variance that is evident with respect to elements of melody, rhythm and lyrics, each of these expressions has well defined aesthetic norms and idioms that shape its musical identity.
Joining Shankar in this concert are his two sons. The elder son, Siddharth, is a playback singer known for his performance in Hindi as well as regional films. The trio will present a bouquet of musical forms from Carnatic music, bhavgeet, abhang, ghazal to Sufi, folk, rock and hit film songs.
