Evening Splendor: An Introduction to Indian Classical Music

with Aaron Francis

Musical style and variety are as diverse as the people on the planet – a planet that Aaron Francis has travelled widely, gaining an understanding and appreciation for its melodies and rhythms. In his journeys and studies Aaron encountered Kambhoji, a majestic classical musical mode which is currently very popular on the Indian landscape. Aaron is eager to share his love of Indian music, opening the door for the uninitiated.

He has studied music at UBC, the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts, the National Center for Namdo Performing Arts, the Pandit Jasraj School of Music, and with numerous instructors in Korea, India and Canada. He has performed in bluegrass bands, Indonesian gamelan ensembles, Korean percussion groups, Ghanaian drumming groups, Sacred Harp choirs, and as a soloist.
