Known as the “Raga Pianist,” Utsav Lal’s Ragas to Reels seamlessly stitches together classical Indian music and Irish traditional music. The culturally-fluid program blends long scale raga forms with reels, jigs, and airs, which complement each other and create a thrilling listening experience that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
Lal’s long and impressive career began at the age of nine, challenging commonly understood ways of improvisation to develop his own style for the piano. Lal has toured the world presenting his ground-breaking work on the piano at leading venues including Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center.
Lal’s Ragas to Reels features a rotating ensemble cast, infusing a fresh repertoire in an energetic and colorful statement of unity.
