Event Description : MUSIC "Rudra Veena - Sound of the Divine" by Carsten Wicke

Carsten Wicke, a German by Birth, started his journey of Music by learning Violin and Vocal music. In 1990, he came to India and learnt Hindustani Music through Guru Shishya Parampara. Rudra Veena Maestro Ustad Asad Ali Khan accepted him as one of the very few disciples and taught him traditional Rudra Veena in Khandarvani Dhrupad style. Also Carsten learnt Dagarvani Dhrupad style with Ashish Sanskrityayan.

Based in Kolkata today, Carsten is establishing himself as one of the few present Rudra Veena performer. His performance unites the meditative depth of Dagar Vani style in Aalap with dynamism of Khandar Vani Dhrupad in Jor and Jhala.

Besides, Carsten also develops and manufactures new Veenas in collaboration with local craftsmen.
