Utsav Lal, Indian Classical Piano

Pianist/composer Utsav Lal delves into the depths of Indian ragas in his distinctive, unapologetically original take on piano and Indian Classical Music. Lal will present Dhrupad influenced raga renditions solo piano, in traditional Alap-Jod-Jhala style and will be joined for the second half of the performance by acclaimed mridangam (a barrel-shaped South Indian drum) artist, composer and scholar, Rajna Swaminathan. They will present new works and improvisations inspired by Indian Classical Music and other forms of improvisation.
