Fellow music lovers of Oxford, we're bringing something poetic to our beautiful town this autumn. A magical evening of Indian classical ragas on flute will take place at the **Holywell Music Room** on **13th November**.

Come experience **Oxford Raga Unison: Duet of Winds and Drums**, a transcendent evening of Hindustani classical music featuring **Pandit Ajay Prasanna**, a **three-time Grammy nominee** and internationally celebrated bansuri virtuoso known for his innovative cross-genre **Flute** Symphony, with **Kousic Sen**, one of the foremost **Tabla** players of his generation.

Born into a musical family in Calcutta and trained by great masters of the Banaras Gharana, Kousic is admired worldwide for his powerful yet sensitive tabla playing. His energetic performances bring a new life to the stage, whether in classical concerts, dance accompaniment, or cross-cultural collaborations. As an Artist in Residence with Milapfest in Liverpool, and through tours across the USA, Canada, Europe, and Asia, he has shared his rhythmic mastery with audiences in many of the world’s most famous venues.

Together, Ajay’s meditative flute playing and Kousic’s vibrant tabla dialogue will create soundscapes that are deeply restorative, echoing the timeless belief in the power of music for mindfulness, emotional balance, and mental health.

This isn’t just a concert; it’s a chance for our community to experience something rare in our city, as centuries-old traditions of South Asian music meet us here in Oxford. Research indicates that such healing music can soothe the mind, alleviate stress, and promote a sense of well-being.

Bring friends, make an evening of it, and add another memorable night to our city’s rich cultural life.
