PRSSV’s annual Parampara showcase goes from strength to strength in presenting students of all ages, adeptly performing a wide range of Indian music and dance, from stirring Ragas on Bansuri and vocals, dynamic percussion ensembles and exquisite Kathak dance blending classical and contemporary forms.
To celebrate the timeless power of Indian music, there will be an awards ceremony that will shine a light and honor those who have made a significant contribution to Global music and dance in the UK. We are delighted to announce this year’s recipients include preeminent curator of the performing arts in the UK Jay Visvadeva, renowned sitar maestro Clem Alford and highly esteemed flautist Clive Bell.
Join us for a spectacular evening showcase of music and dance, as you sit back enjoy the music it will be having a healing effect on all of us.
Indian classical music has known for centuries that sounds can heal. Even beyond reducing anxiety, fostering introspection, and helping us move from a place of imbalance to balance, sounds can help us power through energy blockages and stymie overwhelming and crippling stress. (Now emerging research has started to support this.)
For example, The calming effect of the tanpura’s drone is felt deeply at a visceral level. It’s the backbone to a musical performance, but also to recuperative relaxation.
