March 9 Bansuri

The bamboo flute, the bansuri, is one of the more difficult instruments, and its expressive mastery in Indian and Japanese music is a great quest. American bansuri player Steve Gorn is joined by American tabla player Benjy Wertheimer in a concert of Indian music this evening. Wertheimer was the founding tabla player of the world fusion ensemble Ancient Future in 1979. Both musicians have performed classical Indian music and fusion with Indian and world musicians. Tonight they perform Northern Indian classical ragas and folk music in traditional style. At the Movement Center www.themovementcenter.com 1021 Northeast 33rd Avenue.
