Bengaluru: Triveni, meaning “confluence”, celebrates Indian classical music through the coming together of the tabla, violin, and the veena. The show seamlessly stitches together the varied musicalities of the three virtuosos and their instruments, resulting in an engaging and melodious dialogue between Carnatic and Hindustani traditions.

As one of the most accomplished and celebrated tabla players of our time, Ustad Zakir Hussain needs little introduction. In a career spanning over six decades, he has established himself as an influential and esteemed international icon, with phenomenal work in the fields of composition and musical production also to his credit.

Joining him will be Vidushi Kala Ramnath, a violin virtuoso who is among the world’s finest and most inspirational instrumentalists whose rich and varied repertoire includes several celebrated collaborations with exponents of different music styles, from western classical and jazz to traditional African music and Flamenco. The first Indian violinist to be featured in The Strad.

Rounding up the lineup is Vidushi Jayanthi Kumaresh, an internationally-recognised player of Saraswathi Veena. Her decades-long career has seen her perform at several prestigious festivals and venues, such as the Darbar Festival London, the San Francisco Jazz Festival, the Adelaide Music Festival, the United Nations, and the Darwin Music Festival, accompanying some of the most reputed artistes in the music world.

Triveni is brought to Bangalore by Bhoomija Trust in association with Taneira, a Tata company that is working with weavers across the country to revive the rich tradition of Indian handlooms.
