We invite you to an evening with Slytrix, an instrumental duo featuring guitarist Sylvester Pradeep and electric veena player Santosh Jayaram.

Slytrix embodies the spirit of artistic traditions that continue to evolve while remaining rooted in their histories, through a musical conversation between guitar and veena, drawing from a variety of genres, including the Blues and Carnatic music, to create a sound that is distinctly their own. 

This concert is part of Radio Azim Premji University’s effort to create spaces where audiences can engage with artists who are experimenting with form, sound, and tradition. Through performances such as these, we hope to foster curiosity, listening, and dialogue across different artistic practices. 

This programme is hosted by Indian Heritage Academy, in collaboration with Azim Premji University.
