A first season of two Subscription concerts are proposed by the Society, presenting Indian classical music from professional musicians based in the South West and the rest of England. There is a wealth of great performers who live and breathe Indian music in England. After the surge of interest in Indian music in the Sixties with Ravi Shankar and other famous musicians touring in the West, and the subsequent migrations of people from the Sub-continent, Indian music is now established in England. There are many home-grown performers of Indian music who are established professional musicians. This music is both intensely meditative and exciting at different times during the performance. The performances will usually feature a duet performance of a melodic instrument or vocalist accompanied by the tabla drums.
