KalaSudha in London

You can hear Hindustani (North Indian) classical music live in London at London Ragas, KalaSudha's concert series in London. Its evenings are baithaks: the audience sits close to the musicians. London Ragas can take place at different venues across London, and KalaSudha plans to add more baithaks in other parts of London. KalaSudha is based in London, so every concert tour it organises also plays London once.

At a KalaSudha London Ragas baithak in London, you sit close to the musicians in a small gathering, with no stage between you and the players. Some London evenings have opened with short lecture-demonstrations on the dance or the instruments, so you know what to listen for before the music starts.

KalaSudha does not allow photography or filming during the performance; for press or other recording, write to [email protected] in advance. To find the room, see how to get to KalaSudha's London venues.
