Lucknow, Jan. 6 -- The city is set to host an evening where music meets mindfulness as Grammy-nominated flautist Ajay Prasanna performs at the Kasturi Music Festival 3.0 on January 10 at Sangeet Natak Akademi Auditorium. Titled Anhad Naad: Divine Resonance, the special edition of the festival aims to blend Indian classical music with meditation and reflection, moving beyond the format of a conventional concert. The event seeks to highlight values such as compassion, empathy, service and inner awareness through sound, said Shachi Singh heading Kasturi Festival. Billed as A Night of Music and Meditation, the Lucknow event is designed to offer audiences a tranquil, immersive experience, encouraging them to slow down and reconnect through music as a form of meditation. Ajay Prasanna, a three-time Grammy nominee, is widely known for his association with composer Ricky Kej's Grammy-winning album Divine Tides. He belongs to the Benares Gharana and carries forward a rich musical legacy inherited from his father, the late Pandit Bholanath Prasanna. Over the years, Prasanna has earned acclaim for his classical as well as fusion performances on national and international platforms. Shachi Singh said, "The Kasturi Music Festival serves as a curtain-raiser to Kasturi's month-long Compassion in Action initiative, observed every February. The initiative includes workshops and community engagements focused on conscious living, ethical dialogue and social responsibility."...
