Hindustani–Carnatic Jugalbandi in Mumbai: Ashwini Bhide Deshpande & Sudha Raghunathan

Hamanvay—Two Traditions, One Experience is a collaborative concert that presents a dialogue between Hindustani and Carnatic classical music through a jugalbandi format. The event features Hindustani vocalist Ashwini Bhide Deshpande and Carnatic vocalist Sudha Raghunathan, both widely recognized for their contributions to their respective traditions.

Scheduled for 25 February at 7:30 PM onwards, the concert will take place at the Nehru Centre Auditorium in Worli, a known venue for cultural programming in Mumbai. The jugalbandi format typically explores contrasts and convergences in raga interpretation, improvisation, and compositional structure across the two systems.

Such cross-tradition presentations attract listeners interested in comparative listening and the shared aesthetics of Indian classical music. For Mumbai audiences, this concert forms part of the city’s ongoing calendar of major classical performances.
