On March 5, 2017 the Asian Music Circuit will present a concert in London of North Indian Classical music. The event deals with the gender roles within North Indian Classical music and how these roles have transformed over time.
The concert will showcase Uday Bhawalkar, who will sing in the Dhrupad style that is conventionally performed by male singers. He will be accompanied by Chirangana Agle-Reshwal, who has attracted a lot of attention as the first well-known female performer of an instrument that until recently was habitually only played by men, the pakhawaj (a barrel drum).
The concert will also feature Manjiri Asanare Kelkar, who sings in the Khyal style, another genre usually associated with men. She will be accompanied by the male tabla player Sanjay Deshpande.
