So, you’ve heard about the Etawah Gharana of sitar but haven’t been able to find any more information about its relevance? Head to a lecture-cum-demonstration by Arvind Parikh, that will take place this Friday at NCPA. Having trained for more than six decades with the sitar maestro Ustad Vilayat Khan, the octogenarian’s demonstration will cover the origin of sitar, the evolution of the gharanas (schools) as well as the contribution of various icons to this style of sitar playing.
