This workshop deals with the elegant musical form that is the ragamalika, wherein students will be taught a variety of compositions and also taken through the theoretical aspects of presenting a ragamalika. 

The ragamalika is a musical form unique to Indian classical music that presents the listener with melodic variety, thus establishing stark contrast in tones, moods and emotions.

The workshop will consist of six sessions, each 90 minutes long. Classes will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for two weeks. Dr. Gayathri Girish will be personally conducting the sessions and interacting with the students.

We invite you to join us on this learning journey!
