Hindustani Classical Music in November?

gvdv · Jun 5th, 2009, 09:14

Hi,
New to posting on these forums, although I joined last year.

Hindustani Classical Music is very important to me (mostly instrumental, and mostly sitar, although not exclusively either).

I'm planning on being in India in November and my schedule will be determined by the music conferences I can get to, and my route will be determined partly by music, and partly by my desire to see various parts of the country (Thiruvananthapuram; Agra; Rishikesh and mostly Varanasi).

Can people tell me, or direct me to a resource which has information about HCM conferences (concerts/festivals) in November, and maybe December (I will alter my time of departure if necessary). Dover Lane is usually in January, I think.

Thanks,

GVDV

Oops,
Sorry for the confusion - should have titled my message 'Hindustani Classical Music in November', not 'December'....

Thanks, moderator

I almost did a double-take just now, because you must have changed the title within a few minutes of me posting this. I thought I was going mad!

Thanks, once again.
