Dialogues with the Divine – Reinvoking Gandhi | Dr Deepti Navaratna
Dialogues with the Divine is a musical tapestry of multilingual, inter-cultural and inter-faith poetry and music. Conceptualised by Dr Deepti Navaratna, this performance brings together poetry and text from Tagore to Tyagaraja, Kuvempu to Kabir, to build an understanding of the common denominators of thought, expression and values across world cultures. Drawing from the writings and philosophies of Sarvadharma Samanvaya and Sarvodaya of Gandhi, the performance curates a contemporary experience of these timeless values that are enshrined in the Indian experience. Dr Deepti Navaratna is accompanied by Arun Siva and Shadrach Solomon.
Indian music compositions and musicians who transcend faith | Dr Nagaraja Rao Havaldar
India’s cultural heritage is a tapestry woven with diverse religions, languages, and philosophies. Amidst this diversity, music has often served as a unifying force, rising above boundaries of faith and identity. This session by Dr Nagaraj Rao Havaldar seeks to explore and celebrate timeless compositions and legendary musicians who have bridged religious divides through the power of sound, invoking the shared sacredness of the human spirit. He is accompanied by Kedarnath Havaldar (tabla) and Sameer Havaldar (harmonium).
