Light Classical and Ghazals, Yogini Gandhi (Kathak), Indira Naik (Light Classical and Ghazals). In collaboration with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations and supported by Swar Foundation. Yogini Gandhi, who has trained in both Odissi and Kathak styles under the tutelage of the legendary greats, Kelucharan Mohapatra and Birju Maharaj, combines artistry and emotion in her dance.

In a genre dominated by men with soul-stirring voices, such as Mehdi Hassan, Ghulam Ali or Jagjit Singh, Indira Naiks rendition of the ghazal is nuanced and conveys a depth of feeling. Her forthcoming album, Tassavur, combines the mystical and romantic traditions of the ghazal to good effect. For Details Contact 22824567.
