Meet the artists! Join Alam Khan for an intimate and illuminating lecture-demonstration exploring the world of Indian Classical Music through the voice of the Sarod. Alam will be accompanied on Tabla by Eman Hashimi and both will discuss and demonstrate the rhythmic intricacies of Indian music.
In this session, Alam will share insights into the deep-rooted tradition of the Senia Maihar Gharana, discuss the nuances of the Sarod—its tonal depth, intricate technique, and expressive capacity—and trace his personal journey within this musical heritage. With live performance and guided listening, he will demonstrate how Indian Classical Music functions as a form of sonic meditation—capable of evoking profound emotional and spiritual resonance.
Whether you’re new to Indian Classical Music or a seasoned listener, this is an opportunity to engage with a living tradition, understand its philosophical underpinnings, and witness the transmission of timeless knowledge through sound.
Community partner: A special thank you to consultant, Nina Buddhdev of The Bandish Network for creating the Surrey Civic Theatres and Indian Summer Festival partnership model and catalyzing this presentation.
