SUNDAY 11TH MAY 2025 2025 | 9am | Tickets from £15 here

Experience a true ‘Mehfil’ - a purposefully small intimate setting for South Asian classical music - where a musician and their audience aim to reach the ‘rasa’ – a state of engagement when they become ‘one’ in emotion and intent. Often played to the appropriate time of the day and night, here at the Mehfil – e – Rose Hill, they will play alongside genre defying new creations.

Jason Kalidas Bansuri and Denis Kucherov Tabla

Mithila Sarma Veena Senthuran Premakumar Mridangam

Be gently invited into the sun with the bansuri, bamboo flute of south Asia. A morning’s programme of bansuri, veena, sitar and sarod, tabla and mridangam – with accomplished artists of diverse backgrounds offering you a delightful way to start your day. Come and have a tea, coffee, juice and pastries to savour while you awaken with the music in our Mehfil space on a Sunday morning.
