Mita Shruta Raga | Raag Salag Varali by Smt. Saylee Talwalkar

🎶 *MITA SHRUTA RAGA – A Musical Journey into Rare Hindustani Classical Ragas* 🎶 What happens when passionate Hindustani classical music lovers come together to explore ragas that are rarely heard on the concert stage? *MITA SHRUTA RAGA* is a thoughtfully curated musical initiative created to encourage and inspire dedicated lovers of Hindustani classical music, especially those who have developed a deep appreciation for the richness, depth and diversity of Indian classical ragas. 🌿 THE CONCEPT BEHIND MITA SHRUTA RAGA Across the world, numerous baithaks, mehfils, classical music programmes and concerts celebrate the timeless tradition of Indian classical music. Yet, audiences often find themselves listening to a familiar repertoire of well-known ragas. With MITA SHRUTA RAGA, we wanted to explore a different musical path — bringing lesser-heard ragas to the attention of discerning listeners and encouraging audiences to discover the beauty of compositions and melodic landscapes that are not commonly featured in mainstream classical concerts. In this special presentation, we explored the following ragas: 🎵 Salag Varali 🎵 Bhavani 🎵 Bhupeshwari 🎵 Tilak Shyam These performances were presented with the intention of enriching the listening experience of seasoned classical music enthusiasts and curious listeners alike. We were delighted and deeply encouraged by the wonderful response from the audience — many of whom are true *kaansens*, listeners with a refined ear and a profound appreciation for Hindustani classical music. 🥁 ACCOMPANIMENT & ARTISTS The concert featured the talented Areen Talwalkar on tabla.
