About KalaSudha in Lancaster
More Music, on Devonshire Road in Morecambe, listed Music for the Mind and Soul for 15 March 2025: Indian classical music in Lancaster's district rather than the city itself. The listing named the sitar player Jonathan Mayer and the tabla player Kousic Sen, two artists KalaSudha works with. It noted that Mayer studied both Indian and Western classical music, and it invited seasoned listeners and first-timers alike.
KalaSudha is exploring Lancaster and its district for concerts and workshops by top-class Indian classical musicians. Each announcement will name its performers before booking opens. First-time listeners need no background, and you do not have to know the raga to enjoy the evening.
Sitar and tabla lessons run online with a live teacher through the KalaSudha academy, so you can start without waiting for a local date. The courses follow a structure their instructors set, with the teaching vetted by top educationists. A workshop in the district depends on enough local interest and suitable arrangements, and none is planned for a date or place. Press Register for updates if you would come from either side of the bay.
Why Lancaster
What sets KalaSudha apart in Lancaster
-
Lancaster or Morecambe
Listings for this page will always give the town. That way you can tell a Lancaster evening from a Morecambe one and plan the journey before you book.

The meend
Pulling a string sideways across a curved fret raises its pitch, so a single plucked note can climb into another several steps higher. Sitar players call this the meend, and much of the music's feeling rides on it.

The tabla's own moments
In an instrumental recital the tabla gets longer solo passages than it does behind a singer. Listen too for the tihai, a phrase played three times to land on the first beat.
