Riverside Ragas: Ustad Shahid Parvez (sitar) and Shashank Subramanyam (flute)

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime evening as two of India's most celebrated maestros unite on stage — the legendary sitar virtuoso Ustad Shahid Parvez and the internationally acclaimed bamboo flute maestro Shashank Subramanyam.
In this extraordinary collaboration, the two luminaries bring together the grandeur of the Hindustani and Carnatic classical traditions, creating a seamless confluence of melody, rhythm, and improvisation. The performance offers audiences a rare opportunity to witness the meeting of two distinct yet deeply connected musical worlds — one defined by intricate ragas and meditative phrasing, the other by rhythmic complexity and lyrical expression
They will be joined by two exceptional percussionists — Phalgun Parupalli on mridangam and Kousic Sen on tabla — adding layers of dynamic rhythm and subtle interplay.
Audiences are invited to embark on a musical journey that celebrates India’s timeless heritage, blending masterful artistry with moments of pure, spontaneous brilliance.
