Through an exploration of tradition & imagination, our ensemble Transparent Radiance bridges Hindustani, Persian, & Western classical styles to create an immersive tapestry of ethereal sounds. Our music is interwoven with original poetry by Sujatha, multi-lingual poetry by various authors, & flow movement by artist Miraaj.

What's the music?

Transparent Radiance Flute, Sitar/Oud, Tabla/Percussion

"Beautiful Blossoming"

This piece features the flute, sitar, and tabla. This piece begins with a duet between the flute and sitar, and then moves into a gentle rhythmic section with the tabla.
