Portland has a small community of people who love Indian music. A longtime teacher and performer is Michael Stirling. Joined by Aran Adams on tabla; Derek Ecklund and Bobek Djeyfroudi on tamburas, he presents an evening of Autumn ragas, in an otherwise quiet yoga studio, tonight. Stirling has studied deeply with Pandit Pran Nath and Terry Riley, both innovators in their own ways. A special evening. At Yoga Shala North www.yogashalapdx.com 3808 N Williams 7PM by donation
