Jay Gandhi graces the stage with a melodius set at Gaia Nomaya for our next concert in the Colors of Raga Series! He will be accompanied by young maestro Vivek Pandya on tabla.

The concert will be a journey into the many dimensions and subtleties of raga, essence and spontaneous unfolding. The repertoire will range from the introspective and meditative to the joyful, romantic and ecstatic. In this presentation, he will choose a spontaneous selection from a colorful palette of hindustani classical ragas to the folk melodies of North India.

RECENT PRESS:

“Perhaps the most ravishing single set was that from bansuri flutist Jay Gandhi, playing at 9:30 Sunday morning. Gandhi is one of the great contemporary bansuri players, and his fantastic phrasing and subtle, detailed, expressive inflections were deeply beautiful and full of variety while never leaving the context of the raga. He kept it true while also expanding it into places few others can take it.”
