Captivating a full house at McCarter theatre. At one point in the piece, Mr. Kulur put down his flute and picked up a khanjira ( South Indian percussion instrument), and began a percussive joust with Mr.Ojhas Adhiya and Mr. Pirashanna Thevarajah that was one of the evening’s high points. Each sought to outdo the last in his virtuosity, hands grazing head of his drums like the fluttering of a bird’s wings, before, in an instant, the next took over in a further showcase of nuance, speed, and rhythmical mastery.

I attended Ravi sir’s concerts in Seattle in 2019 and fell into trance by listening to his music! He has been teaching me for about 3 years now & been a huge influence in my life and has helped me to better understand the language of music. I know that I will be physically and mentally prepared to play my solo concert in couple of years with his blessings.
