Gandhi in verse
Their performances, work in music education and festival curation aside, an intriguing project on the life of Mahatma Gandhi is what musician couple Shubha Mudgal and Aneesh Pradhan have been working on for several months. The eminent classical musician and Thumri singer, and leading tabla player perused many anthologies of poetry on the life and principles of Gandhi to arrive at a diverse selection of verses they set to tune.

This evening, they will be presenting a musical rendition of the poetry in a performance called In Harmony with the Mahatma, an initiative by Mani Bhavan Gandhi Sangrahalaya, Gandhi Smarak Nidhi and Nehru Centre. They will be accompanied by Sudhir Nayak (harmonium) and Vighnesh Kamath (dholak and additional percussion).
