After extremely successful concerts in India, two very well-known musicians of the current generation of Indian musicians, Gaurav Majumdar (hindustani sitar) and Nirmala Rajasekar (carnatic veena) are touring the US during Fall 2011 on a jugalbandhi concert tour, "Sublime Journey". They are being accompanied by one of the top Mridangam players of South India Thanjavur K.Murugaboopathi and the young master on the tabla from New Delhi, Vishal Nagar. The four artists, virtuosi in carnatic and hindustani classical music (the two great strands of north and south Indian classical music), will play music in the hindustani tradition followed by carnatic music, then they will play what is called a jugalbandhi, with both styles together. Don’t miss this wonderful event! 

This concert is co-sponsored by the Indian Fine Arts Academy San Diego and the Funes Fund in the Music Program at California State University, San Marcos and is their first collaboration. The two organizations are planning more events in the future, including concerts and workshops.
