“Shades of Love” is a curated evening of semi-classical music including the forms of thumri, kajri, chaiti, folk, ghazal. As the evening progresses, we’ll look at the different ways in which love has been described and expressed by the likes of Meera and Kabir, Faiz and Ghalib, in folk music and in ghazals, in Hindu and Sufi traditions. I hope to give you a glance into the fascinating perspectives that poets and musicians brought to the subject of “Love”
