"Ganga-Kaveri"

One School at a Time (OSAAT, www.osaat.org) is proud to present this most sought-after ensemble of musicians from India, bringing you the best fusion music experience ever, of Khayal, Raaga, Taana, Pallavi, Thumri, Folk, Devotional and Jazz by Vidwan Anoor Ananth Krishna Sharma (Mridangam), Vidwan M.K. Pranesh (Carnatic Flute), Suramani Pravin Godkhindi (Bansuri), Vidwan V. Umesh (Keyboards), Vidwan Arun Kumar (Rhythm Pads and Drums), and Vidwan S. Madhusudana (Tabla).

This group, led by reputed mridangam maestro Vidwan Anoor Ananth Krishna Sharma, is a unique musical ensemble. Unique in its content and presentation, this group is already one of the most-sought-after bands in the concert circuit in India.

This Fusion group boasts of having two of the most talented flautists of India, Vidwan M K PRANESH on the Carnatic flute and Suramani PRAVIN GODKHINDI on the Hindustani Bansuri. They have enthralled audiences the world over with their captivating solo as well as jugalbandi concerts. Both the Flautists are known for their creativity in their respective genre of music, so one can as well imagine the tides of melodious music that will flow from their bamboos when they perform in tandem, in an attractive jugalbandi.

The third dimension, that of western and contemporary music, which makes it all the more unique is due to the presence of the keyboards and drums. The subtlety of the keyboard chords on the Indian ragas make the 'alaaps' more divine and the rhythmic stroking of chords make the 'taanam' and the 'bandishes' more energetic. What more can a global audience ask for?
