Hindustani Music Recital by Venkatesh Kumar

Venkatesh Kumar has trained with Puttaraj Gawayi, who was a stalwart of both Kirana and Gwalior gharanas, as well as a reputed scholar. He has also been influenced by the music of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, the eminent doyen of Patiala gharana. Endowed with a powerful and sonorous voice, his repertoire straddles compositions of both Kirana and Gwalior gharanas, with an aesthetic build-up through permutations and combinations of notes, extensive ornamentation, Sargam, and attractive taan patterns.

Kumar will present a typical Hindustani music recital including bada khayal, chhota khayal, and Tarana in ragas that are typically favoured by the followers of the two gharanas.
