Ali Sethi’s ‘Harmonium: A Roots Residency'

Step into a sonic journey as acclaimed vocalist and writer Ali Sethi brings his 'Harmonium: A Roots Residency' to the Aga Khan Museum in North York. Known for his captivating reinventions of South Asian classical and folk traditions, Sethi uses his beloved harmonium to anchor an exploration of identity, culture, and memory.

What to Expect Bridging centuries-old poetic forms like ghazals and qawwalis with contemporary, avant-garde pop sensibilities, Sethi’s performances are both deeply intellectual and wildly entertaining. Expect a shape-shifting set that breaks down borders between traditional folk idioms and modern global beats.

Venue & Planning Hosted at the stunning Aga Khan Museum (77 Wynford Dr), this late-August concert pairs world-class music with world-class architecture. Grab an early dinner at the museum's Patio or Café Miraj before heading into the auditorium. Tickets are $65, and given Sethi's massive global following and intimate setting, advance booking is strongly recommended.
