Classical Himalayan Musical Performance
May 20, 2015 @ 4:45 pm - 6:15 pm
Parashuram Bhandari is a revered and well-lauded master of the sarangi, a strange and ancient form of the violin. He hails from the former kingdom of Nepal, a country of dramatic beauty with a rich and appealing culture. His music ranges from the wildly exuberant to hauntingly delicate, presented with the rhythmic power that is his signature.
An independent artist, Parashuram has published the only textbook on sarangi and is the recipient of national music awards in Nepal. He has performed in many countries and released two solo CDs among others. Parashuram is Indian Classical Music Circle of Hawaii's Artist-in-Residence, and the Naada Brahma Music Academy. He studied sarangi in Varanasi, India and holds a Masters in Music from Prayag Sangit Samiti.
