Sangeet Sabah, Music & Dance Reflections of India, Sunday, April 24th at 2:00pm in the SCHF Auditorium. Come and enjoy an East Indian Music Event featuring a sitar player, an Indian flute player, a mridangam player, and dancers. Indian Classical Music is rooted in antiquity, with its origin in the ancient scriptures, Vedas, and traditions that have passed on for thousands of years. A distinctly oral form of music, the earliest known references of Hindustani classical music can be found in clay tables that have been unearthed from the various Indus Valley Civilization sites. Tablets depicting dancing girls which give references to the legendary temple dancers of classical times is yet another proof that music existed in a highly evolved form even then. The system of Indian music, known as Raga Sangeet, can be traced back nearly two thousand years. Indian classical music is principally based on melody and rhythm and is both elaborate and expressive.
