Concert: North Indian Music at Bear Mountain
A Concert of North Indian Classical Music by Steve Gorn & Bill Buchen on Saturday, June 18 at 1 pm at the Ballfields of Trailside Museums and Zoo at Bear Mountain State Park.
Steve Gorn and Bill Buchen will perform classical Indian music in the Hindustani tradition as well as folk melodies from North India.
The musicians will perform ragas from the Hindustani classical music tradition as well as folk melodies from North India. This music is passed from generation to generation, from master to disciple, as a living oral tradition. It combines the classicism of traditional repertoire, fixed melodic forms, and precise intonation, with improvisation and spontaneous creation.
Steve Gorn - Bansuri Flute: The bansuri bamboo flute is the simplest of all Indian melody instruments in construction, though it is one of the most difficult on which to master the complexity of classical Indian music. To Indian people, the bansuri is a celestial instrument, which immediately conjures up images of Lord Krishna. The body of the instrument is a straight tube of bamboo with a mouth hole and seven finger holes. The subtle intonation of Indian music is achieved by partially covering the finger holes.
Bill Buchen - Tabla: Tabla is the most popular percussion instrument in North India, and is commonly used to accompany classical ragas. Actually two drums, the tabla provides the tala, or rhythmic structure, for the music. Each stroke has a particular sound, which combined form rhythmic patterns, which define the tala, and are elaborated in either fixed compositions or improvisation.
Rain Date: June 19th, 1 PM
