Mridangam is the ancient sound of gathering which draws listeners in with a dizzying array of sound and rhythm.

MultiCall, Royal Opera House, Mumbai and Avid Learning present MridangaMela a fusion Carnatic and Contemporary music performance showcasing a unique representation of Mridangam in both traditional and contemporary treatments.

Dvita - Dual Elements, a Carnatic instrumental duet with young virtuosos Anantha R. Krishnan on Mridangam and Charumathi Raghuraman on Violin will explore duality in performance: sound and silence, rhythm and melody, improvisation and composition and exhilaration and respite. 

Multi Instrumentalist Musician, Composer and Producer Viveick Rajagopalan with his unique Rap Collective, Ta Dhom Project for the first time in the history of Indian Music, will bring together Carnatic Classical Rhythms, Vocal percussion and street rap in the most unique manner and highlight the musical practice of Konnakol, the art of performing percussion syllables vocally in South Indian Carnatic music.

All the artistes will come together at the end of the evening to perform an invigorating finale.

At The Royal Opera House, Mumbai, we recognize the importance of leveraging our stage to showcase the beauty, skill and timelessness of our classical music genres and instruments while also exposing our audiences to multidisciplinary cross-genre experiences and fusion collaborations. This multidisciplinary evening is representative of our vision of blurring the boundaries between the traditional and the contemporary and bridging the gap between our rich past and cutting-edge future.

Come celebrate the diversity of rhythm and discover new dimensions to classical music!
