Find yourself whisked away on an enchanting journey back in time along the ancient Silk Road. At precisely 6:30 PM, the stage will come alive with the mesmerizing strains of exotic music that promises to ignite your imagination and awaken your senses.

 

Witness the captivating union of East and East as Catur Hari Wijaya, a local legend revered for his masterful Oud performances, graces the stage with his presence. For the first time, Catur will delve into the emotive and soul-stirring depths of Middle Eastern music right before your eyes. Accompanying him is the international sensation Shivam Rath, bringing his signature "crystal slide" technique to the 22-string Indian slide guitar—the Chatarangi. Together, these virtuosos present a spellbinding concert filled with the timeless beauty of Indian Raga and Classical Rhythm.

 

Immerse yourself in a performance where tradition meets modernity. Shivam Rath's use of live electronic tabla and real-time looping adds a contemporary twist to the historic melodies of the Silk Road. As Catur Hari Wijaya effortlessly conjures ancient tales through the resonance of the Oud, Shivam complements with a dance of fingers upon strings, creating a dialogue that transcends language and time.

 

It’s an audible tapestry woven with strings and wood, breath and electricity, heart and soul. OUD AND CHATARANGI - A Silk Road Journey is a rare and unrepeatable convergence of artistry and history—a cross-cultural conversation through music, in which every pluck, every slide, every beat resonates with the shared beat of human experience.
