The Music Circle presents an evening of South Indian music

The Music Circle presents ATMA (Alliance for Tradition in Musical Arts)—an evening of South Indian music played with the spirit and verve of jazz at The Ford on Sept. 17, under the artistic direction of Guru Vinod Venkataraman. ATMA features principal violinist Aishwarya with her ensemble, performing a trio of pieces that blend the range and style of Indian and Western instrumentation and whose insistent pulse provides the fuel for a rich and meditative evening under the stars.

ATMA came together in March 2020 to share India’s musical heritage with musicians from both East and West through the performance of ragas—traditional South Indian music built around drones and improvisations.

Tickets are $33-$65 and may be purchased online at theford. com or over the phone at (323) 850-2000.
