Dear music enthusiasts of Oxford, prepare to immerse yourselves in an evening of pure melody this autumn. On 13th November, the historic Holywell Music Room will resonate with the sounds of Indian classical ragas performed on the bansuri (flute) and tabla.

Join us for Oxford Raga Unison: Duet of Winds and Drums—a soulful concert of Hindustani classical music featuring Pandit Ajay Prasanna, a Grammy-nominated flautist renowned for his pioneering Flute Symphony projects, and Kousic Sen, one of today’s leading tabla maestros celebrated for his energetic and expressive artistry.

A disciple of the Banaras Gharana, Kousic Sen’s journey from his musical upbringing in Calcutta to the global stage has been marked by brilliance. His rhythmic fluency and dynamic stage presence have captivated audiences across continents—from Milapfest residencies in Liverpool to performances throughout the USA, Canada, Europe, and Asia.

When Ajay’s meditative flute intertwines with Kousic’s intricate tabla rhythms, the result is a musical dialogue that uplifts, calms, and connects. The evening invites listeners to experience how centuries-old traditions of Indian classical music can nourish mindfulness and emotional harmony.

This event offers more than a performance — it’s a celebration of Oxford’s cultural diversity and an opportunity to experience music that soothes the mind and restores balance.

Bring your friends, relax into the sound, and enjoy an unforgettable night that enriches our city’s artistic spirit.
