CONVENE 清雅集 Episode 5 - Raga 拉格
Guest Artist:
Maathavan Kalaichelvan | Veena | A Notable Veena Instrumentalist
Step into an evening where the enchanting melodies of the veena, played by the outstanding local instrumentalist Maathavan, intertwine with other musical voices in a celebration of Singapore’s rich multicultural spirit. The veena, with its deep, resonant tones, carries the timeless beauty of Indian classical music, yet its expressive nature makes it a perfect companion to diverse instruments.
In this episode, we invite you to experience how music transcends boundaries—how the veena’s lyrical phrases dance alongside other instruments, creating a tapestry of sound that reflects the harmonious blend of cultures in our society. This is more than just a performance; it is a conversation between musical traditions, a reminder of the beauty found in unity.
Beyond the music, take a moment to sip on fragrant tea and enjoy delightful snacks that awaken the senses, enhancing the warmth of the evening. Let the soothing ambience wrap around you as you lose yourself in the soulful resonance of the veena in an environment where music, flavors, and community come together in perfect harmony.
Join us for a night where strings connect hearts and melodies weave stories. Let the music embrace your soul.
