Spiral Sunday #2: Dhrupad, Ustad Bahauddin Dagar – Rudra Veena

Spiral Sunday #2
Dhrupad
Ustad Bahauddin Dagar – Rudra Veena

We are pleased to announce the next edition will be an intimate concert by Dhrupad musician Bahauddin Dagar.

Bahauddin is the son of the late Zia Mohiuddin Dagar and he represents the 20th generation of the Dagar lineage of Dhrupad, referring to Nayak Haridas Dagar of the 16th century. We are thrilled and honored that Bahauddin will share this incredible music in Berlin.

Sunday February 19th, 20:00 | PAS
Kaiserin-Augusta-Allee 101
Entrance in the courtyard, Aufgang II
doors from 18:30

More information will follow in the coming weeks. In the meantime we highly recommend the film Dhrupad by Mani Kaul, which features a young Bahauddin playing his father’s Rudra Veena. It is a poetic and incredible portrait of this living music in practice.
