(Shri
Manesh Maharaj & Shri Revash Dookhi)
Kala Darshan – Institute of classical music
and dance will stage PESHKAR – Rhythms of
the North on May 24 at the Aryan Benevolent Homes in Chatsworth.
PESHKAR is a two-hour classical performance comprising a solo Tabla recital
by Shri Revash Dookhi followed by a solo Kathak recital by Shri Manesh Maharaj.
Focusing on the classical Tala (rhythm) system from the North of India, the
performance will showcase the vibrant beats of the Tabla and the eternal
rhythms of Kathak. Known for their complex display of rhythm, both genres will transport the audience
through the pulsating beats and lyrical melodies of North India.
Shri Revash Dookhi is a disciple of Tabla
Maestro, Taalyogi Pandit Suresh Talwalkar from Pune, India. He has been invited
by his Guru to perform at the Guru Purnima festival in India in June 2014. Shri
Manesh Maharaj is the senior disciple of Kathak legend, the late Sushri
Madhurita Sarang from Mumbai, India.
The two artistes combine their talents in
this unique performance aimed to present, promote and preserve the rich
cultural heritage of music and dance and to infuse cultural awareness in the
minds of all through the classical performing arts.
PESHKAR takes place on May 24 at 18h00 at Ved Mandir (Aryan Benevolent
Homes) in Unit 6, Chatsworth. Tickets R50 available at the door prior to the
