DESCRIPTION: The Society for Promotion of Indian Culture & Ethics (S.P.I.C.E.) is holding a classical music concert, featuring Nandkishor Muley on Santoor and Aditya Kalyanpur on Tabla.

The santoor is played with a pair of curved sticks make of walnut wood and it produces a variety of lively tonal effects reminiscent of the piano and the harp.

Nandkishor Muley is a senior disciple of Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma. He currently resides in Berlin, Germany. In 2001, he was awarded the Excellent Art and Cultural Educator award from the United Arts of Florida for his contribution of Indian music and culture. In 1994, he won the German Grammy Award.

Aditya Kalyanpur is a disciple of Ustad Zakir Hussein and regarded as one of the most promising Tabla players from the new generation of artists in India. Aditya recently performed solo for the Rolling Stones during their last visit to India, and also recorded for their saxophonist, Tim Ries.
