Mala Sangeet

Målå is a classical Indian music experience featuring international artist Sangeet Mishra, eighth generation sarangi player from Mumbai. Bangalow A&I Hall are very happy to welcome Sangeet back to Australia and invite you to join them for a beautiful and serene evening of Indian Raga music.

Supporting Sangeet for the evening are Shen Flindell on Tabla and Darshill Shah on Bansuri, both visiting from Brisbane.

Sangeet Mishra was born into the legendary Mishra family of the renowed Benares Gharana (school of music) in northern India. Originally trained in vocals, he began learning sarangi from his maternal grandfather, Pandit Bhagwan Das Mishra and his beloved father, Pandit Santosh Mishra. With a long lineage of sarangi players before him, he is firmly rooted within the ancient traditions of classical Indian music. Sangeet plays in both traditional settings and fusion collaborations of varying genres, and manages to blend contemporary musical thought without compromising the traditional purity of his playing.  

The concert is a general admission event on Saturday at the Bangalow A&I Hall.

Doors open at 6.30pm for chai and treats, followed by the concert at 7pm.

Advance tickets are available at Humanitix – with a range of pricing options available. Contact Dana Mynard on 0428 539 232.
