Classical music and dance of India date back thousands of years yet continue to speak to audiences of today. The vibrant North Indian dance form known as Kathak is demonstrated by Parul Shah (dancer), Nitin Mitta (tabla), and Indrajit Roy-Chowdhury (sitar) who illustrate the dynamic rhythmic interactions between dance and drum through the use of vocal recitation.

Presented by the Department of Musical Instruments, this concert/demonstration will take place in the Astor Forecourt outside the Jain Temple.
