Ragas for Peace And Happiness: Live Indian Classical With Joel Veena

Fresh off his recent tour of India, Joel Veena presents an evening of North Indian classical ragas and original songs played on the 20-stringed Indian slide guitar and accompanied by Rohit Panchakshari on tabla. Immerse yourself in the tranquility and power of Hindustani ragas, framed by Joel's stories of travel and experiences learning in the rich oral tradition of Indian music, while enjoying The Template's famed hospitality.  Vidhiism Handicrafts, a pop-up bazaar of Indian handmade shawls, purses and silver jewelry, will add to the festive atmosphere for the duration of the workshop and concert. 

Starting as a meditative and melodic invocation that builds to an ecstatic crescendo, Joel's concerts are a cascade of strings and beats that celebrates life and the depth of a rich musical tradition.
