Moods & Melodies
A musical journey interspersed with song and story
Speakers
Music has a unique way to set the mood – whether for a moment or an entire evening. Melodies or ragas of classical music underlie most of the music we listen to – whether a Hindustani bhajan, Carnatic krithi, filmi song, or even background music. Chitra Srikrishna presents ‘Moods & Melodies’ – a journey through a variety of moods with songs from across India – classical and more. Join us to see how melodies indeed can shape your moods, even in these trying times.
