The Saami Family x Center for Cultural Vibrancy present
THE SAAMI KHAYAL APPRENTICESHIP
STUDENT SHOWCASE
ABOUT THE SHOWCASE
The Saami Khayal Apprenticeship was an intensive, five-week vocal residency held in Old City, Philadelphia, where a small cohort trained one-on-one and in small groups with the Saami Ustaads — master practitioners of Khayal, one of Hindustani classical music's oldest vocal traditions. Across the residency, apprentices worked on voice culture fundamentals: breath, pitch and note recognition, deep listening, and the microtonal ornamentation that defines a Raag in its original form.
This showcase is the culmination: apprentices performing what they've built, alongside their teachers, in front of the community that made the residency possible.
The showcase is on Friday, Oct 9 | Doors at 6PM, Program at 6:30PM
Join us at the Philadelphia Ethical Society, 1906 Rittenhouse Sq. Tickets are $40 (plus tax).
