Verma\, Anirudh Bharadwaj\, and Rohan Krishnamurthy come together in a new collaboration of Carnatic and Hindustani traditions. As Bay Area-based ambassadors of Indian music\, the trio represents ancient Indian lineages at the frontiers of contemporary experimentation.     Performer Bios   Dr. Rohan Krishnamurthy is an Indian-American percussionist\, composer\, educator\, and one of the leading voices of Indian classical and cross-genre music in the South Asian diaspora. Acclaimed as a “musical ambassador” by The Times of India\, he received mridangam training from the legendary maestro\, Sriman. Guruvayur Dorai\, in Chennai. Distinguished as a soloist\, composer\, and collaborator\, Rohan performed with legendary Indian classical musicians and Grammy Award-winning global artists.    Rohan leads The Alaya Project\, an Indo-jazz-funk collective that has performed at prestigious jazz and global music festivals including SF Jazz\, Joe’s Pub NYC\, and Strathmore DC.

Beginning with his father\, Roop Verma\, and continuing with the legendary Ali Akbar Khan and his son Alam Khan\, Arjun’s meticulous training has imbued him with a rich musicality that encompasses both the profound majesty and the exhilaration of North Indian classical music. Hailed by the New York Times as a “fine sitarist\,” Arjun shares the jewels of his cultural heritage in a manner that is fresh\, modern\, and relevant\, while maintaining a high standard of traditional integrity.   Arjun has performed at international venues including the United Nations\, the Fillmore\, Prague Castle\, and on the NBC TV network\, collaborating with a diverse host of musicians including the London Symphony Orchestra\, Swapan Chaudhuri\, Alam Khan\, Bob Weir (Grateful Dead)\, the St. Louis Symphony\, and GRAMMY-winning pianist and arranger John Beasley.
