Ahead of his Mumbai concert at Ravindra Natya Mandir on July 12, the classical vocalist talks rare ragas, musical honesty, and the science behind dawn melodies

Indian classical music has that otherworldly quality to it, especially when morning ragas are concerned. But few know about that. Pt Suhas Vyas, a big torch-bearer of Indian classical music, will be presenting such morning ragas in Mumbai at the Morning Ragas – Unique Experiences of Rare Ragas. The concert series conceptualised and organised by Pancham Nishad and presented by Grace Foundation is on July 12 at Ravindra Natya Mandir from 10 AM onwards.

The son of the doyen of Indian classical music, Pt. CR Vyas, he carries his legacy with aplomb.
