Happy Diwali 2023! Diwali is one of the most eagerly awaited festivals in India. It is popularly known as the festival of lights, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Diwali is a time for family gatherings, exchanging gifts, enjoying sumptuous feasts, and, most importantly, sharing love and good wishes with one another. We’d like to share that Brooklyn Raga Massive, an adventurous musicians’ collective that creates cross-cultural understanding through the lens of South Asian classical music, brings the ensemble, Tradition to Innovation, to Tilles Center's Krasnoff Theater on Sunday, November 19 at 3 pm. The program is a perfect introduction to audiences new to the genre of Indian Classical music. The term "raga" refers to a melodic mode in Indian music. Musicians Neel Murgai, Arun Ramamurthy, Damond Banks, Aaron Shag, Mir Naqibul, and Kane Mathis will take you on a journey, beginning with pure classical ragas from India and traveling towards contemporary adaptations in America. While standing on the shoulders of giants like Ravi Shankar and John Coltrane, the ensemble will present their original visions of raga music, reflective of their experiences with communities and cultures from across the world. Tradition to Innovation is excited to bring the spectrum of classical and contemporary forms of Indian music to you, so we hope you join us for this special afternoon! #Diwali #BrooklynRagaMassive #India #IndianMusic #RaviShankar #JohnColtrane #TillesCenter #LongIsland #LIUPost #ThingsToDoOnLongIsland #HappyDiwali
