Khoj — the Hindi word for "discovery" — is an interactive concert experience exploring the classical music of North India. Cincinnati-based musician and scholar Dr. Kanniks Kannikeswaran leads the evening alongside Pratik Shrivastava on sarod (a fretless string instrument with a rich, resonant tone) and Tejovrush Joshi on tabla (the paired hand drums at the heart of Indian classical rhythm). The program weaves together live performance, guided listening, and hands-on demonstration — you'll learn what a raga is, how rhythm cycles work, and get a chance to try keeping time yourself. No background in Indian music needed. The format is welcoming and interactive, and kids are encouraged to participate. Come curious.
Tickets are pay-what-you-can, with a suggested $10-35 donation per attendee.
