Détails de l'événement
En novembre, Londres accueille une soirée exceptionnelle de musique classique indienne au Duke Hall de la Royal Academy of Music . Le 15 novembre , London Ragas Fusion réunit quatre maîtres renommés, chacun porteur d'un univers de tradition et d'innovation dans son art.
Au cœur du spectacle se trouve Pandit Ajay Prasanna , flûtiste trois fois nominé aux Grammy Awards et l'un des plus grands représentants du bansuri en Inde. Sa musique, empreinte de sérénité lyrique et d'une créativité brillante, a traversé les continents et les genres. À ses côtés, Shahbaz Hussain , virtuose du tabla reconnu et accompli, est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs musiciens européens, réputé pour ses interprétations dynamiques et complexes dans la musique classique indienne et ses projets de fusion.
Ils sont rejoints par le pianiste Rekesh Chauhan , pianiste primé reconnu pour son harmonieux mariage entre musique classique indienne et instruments occidentaux, et par RN Prakash , maître du ghatam sud-indien, dont les rythmes terreux et argileux apportent texture et vitalité à l'ensemble. Ensemble, ces quatre artistes créent une confluence sonore où le Nord et le Sud de l'Inde se rencontrent, où l'Orient et l'Occident s'harmonisent.
Mais cette soirée est bien plus que de la musique ; c'est aussi une invitation à la pause, à la réflexion et à l'expérience de la résonance bienfaisante du son. Depuis des siècles, la tradition classique indienne considère la musique comme une forme de méditation, un moyen de rétablir l'équilibre en nous-mêmes et au sein de nos communautés. Aujourd'hui, ces pratiques intemporelles nous rappellent le lien profond entre musique, santé mentale, pleine conscience et bien-être émotionnel.
Au rythme du bansuri, du piano, du tabla et du ghatam, la salle se transformera en un sanctuaire de rythmes et de mélodies. Que vous soyez un amateur de musique classique indienne de longue date ou que vous la découvriez pour la première fois, cette soirée offre non seulement une performance, mais aussi un renouveau : l'occasion de se sentir exalté, connecté et ressourcé grâce au langage universel de la musique.
Les portes ouvrent à 19h00 et la musique commence à 19h30 précises.

Yeah, the music was so universal, it's like you brought everybody together. Absolutely. And I really felt like the instruments were like part, it was almost like it was part of their bodies. Yeah, the way they played, which was just so amazing.

I think what was beautiful is the confluence, so it's a confluence of cultures, we were discussing that outside, and we were just talking about Sufism and oneness, you know, so that again is a proof of that oneness, how the instruments from West and East merge together.

Absolutely extraordinary. I don't think I've ever experienced a combination of instruments that way. I mean, I've got to say, I felt absolute bliss just running through my body throughout that entire event. I just couldn't stop smiling. The sheer artistry and brilliance of those artists was just something that I cannot even describe to anybody unless they sit there and they experience it themselves. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope that we have many, many more of these types of concerts and I hope that these artists will at least produce something together or come together on the stage. It's a gift. Thank you so much.

Questions fréquentes
Where can I hear live Indian classical music in London, and which venues does KalaSudha use?
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.

Who is the flautist Pandit Ajay Prasanna, and what is his musical lineage?
Pandit Ajay Prasanna is a flute player from a musical family. He carries forward the legacy of his father, Bholanath Prasanna, a flute master whose students include Hariprasad Chaurasia. He plays in the style of the Banaras gharana. He has performed across India and abroad, including at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London and at festivals in Asia and Europe. His honours include Grammy nominations, the Global Indian Music Award for his album Cinema, the Sangeet Ratna Award and the Surmani Award.
Who is Rekesh Chauhan, and what is he known for?
Rekesh Chauhan is a British pianist who blends eastern and western styles. He won the NIAA Young Musician of the Year in 2018 and the Eastern Electronica Prize. He received the British Empire Medal in the 2023 King's Birthday Honours for his music and his work for mental health in the British Asian community. His debut album, Beyond Roots, came out with Milapfest in 2015. With KalaSudha he has worked with Pandit Ajay Prasanna and Ustad Shahbaz Hussain.
What is a bansuri, how is it made, and how is it played?
A bansuri is a transverse flute cut from a single length of seasoned bamboo. It has no keys and no moving parts, only six finger holes, or seven in Pannalal Ghosh's style. The maker burns or drills the blow hole and the finger holes. The player controls pitch through the lips at the blow hole, breath pressure and half-holing, covering a finger hole in part, which gives the slides and bends of a raga. Until the 1940s it was not thought a concert instrument; Pannalal Ghosh made a larger bansuri for the classical stage.
