An evening of Hindustani classical music with Shivani Kallianpur, on our open-air stage under the sky.

Shivani is a Hindustani classical vocalist and Thumri exponent — a senior disciple of Padma Shri Vidushi Ashwini Bhide Deshpande, with a Master’s in Hindustani Classical Music and an ‘A’ Grade from Doordarshan. She trained in the Jaipur–Atrauli gharana under Smt. Shalmali Joshi, and learns Thumri and Dadra from Smt. Shubha Joshi in the lineage of Vidushi Shobha Gurtu. She has performed at the Thumri Utsav in Varanasi, the Puraskar Baithak in New Delhi, and for the Kanara Saraswat Association and Canara Union in Bengaluru.

The evening will move through Khayal, Thumri and Dadra. NeeRav Arts Village is an arts and cultural space near Bidadi — a farm, a lake and an open stage, about 40 minutes from Silk Institute and Challaghatta metro stations. Quiet grounds, satvik food from our own kitchen, and no alcohol anywhere on the campus.
