Music lovers are in for a rare treat as Suranjali Canada brings an unforgettable double bill of Indian classical music to the York Woods Library Theatre. Featuring two talented married couples playing uncommon instruments, this showcase highlights the breathtaking versatility of traditional ragas.
The Artists and Instruments
Kamaljeet Ahluwalia takes the stage with the 100+-stringed santoor, a trapezoid-shaped hammered dulcimer known for its cascading, ethereal soundscapes. Alongside her, Sonali Ray accomplishes a rare feat in the classical world by executing intricate Indian ragas on the grand piano. Both artists will be dynamically supported by their husbands on the tabla, creating an intimate dialogue between rhythm and melody.
Venue & Tickets
Hosted by Suranjali Canada—a non-profit championing classical South Asian music in Toronto since 2018—the concert takes place at the York Woods Library Theatre in North York. Tickets are affordably priced at $30, with kids under 15 admitted free and special discounts available for seniors and groups. It's a sublime way to spend a Sunday evening just north of the core.
