About KalaSudha in Dundee

Leisure & Culture Dundee put Indian classical music in Dundee on the Marryat Hall listings for 14 February 2026, under the title Ragas and Talas. The listing promised both Hindustani music, from north India, and Carnatic music, from the south. Its title names the two building blocks: ragas, the melodic frameworks, and talas, the rhythmic cycles.

KalaSudha is considering Dundee for concerts and workshops with top-class Indian classical musicians. A Dundee programme from KalaSudha will state its tradition and its performers when it is announced. You can come with no background in either tradition, and all ages are welcome. Read how the two differ in our Hindustani and Carnatic explainer.

Singers and players in Dundee can study either tradition with a live teacher online, through the KalaSudha academy. Carnatic instrument lessons are one-to-one, so the teacher works at your pace. Each instructor builds a structured course with us, and top educationists vet it. Dundee workshops rest on enough local interest and suitable arrangements, and for now none is booked, so the decision is still open. Press Register for updates to stay in touch.

Why Dundee

What sets KalaSudha apart in Dundee

  • A Saturday-morning hour

    Ragas and Talas was listed for a Saturday-morning hour, starting at 11am. KalaSudha concerts welcome all ages, so you can bring children and grandparents along together.

  • Listen for the drums

    In a Hindustani concert the tabla keeps the rhythmic cycle. In Carnatic music the principal drum is the mridangam, a double-headed barrel drum played across the lap.

  • Start online in either tradition

    KalaSudha teaches Hindustani and Carnatic music online with a live teacher. Our courses run in levels, so you begin at Foundation and build from there.
