Indian Classical Music Society of Vancouver presents Legends of Benares PadmaBhushan Pandit Rajan & Sajan Mishra Live in Concert. They are coming to Vancouver as part of their acclaimed world tour ‘Bhairav Se Bhairavi Tak’, accompanied by Sumit Mishra on Harmonium and Vineet Vyas on Tabla. ICA Vancouver is proudly supporting this #IndianClassicalConcert. Pandit Rajan & Sajan Mishra are two of the topmost Indian classical vocalists in the world. Come & witness the soulful music of Pandit Rajan & Sajan Mishra.
This journey of ragas commenced from Benares, on November 18th 2017, home to the
legendary Hindustani vocalists to Pandit Rajan & Pandit Sajan Mishra, and where they
have learnt their music and imbibed the spirit of the city. This tour is officially supported
by the Government of India, and ICCR. The concept of ‘Bhairav Se Bhairavi Tak’ is
conceptualized by Saloni Gandhi. The idea is to present the spectrum of morning to
evening Ragas (from Raga Bhairav to Raga Bhairavi). The science of notes, for creating
ragas according to the time & season, is unique to the world of Indian classical music.
This tour also provides opportunity for vocal workshops with the maestros. The motive
behind these workshops is not just about the usual vocal formation but to go deeper in
the explanation of aesthetics, expressions and presentation of vocal music. ‘Bhairav Se
Bhairavi Tak’ is about reaching out to people around the world, creating a dialogue, and
go on a journey of Ragas together.
The concept of an extensive world tour is conceived and actualized by Ms. Saloni
Gandhi. As a profession she is working with the traditional weavers and crafts people of
India and has a textile studio in Delhi which she runs with a friend and partner. Her
passion about Indian music prompted her to envisage and work on this mammoth
venture.
