The sarod is a 25 stringed instrument, used in the Hindustani “raga” music of Northern India. It is among the most popular and prominent instruments in India. The sarod is known for a deep, rich, introspective sound, with sympathetic strings that give it a resonant, reverberant quality, in contrast to the sweet, overtone-rich texture of the sitar.
This performance lands on new moon, a time when the light of the moon is absent. Wyetta will invite the light of the moon to return by playing some of the more popular evening ragas which have a relationship with this celestial body and light itself.
