A Bansuri bamboo flute concert featuring Indian rāgas for the evening hours. Traditionally, a rāga or melody is associated with a time of day, a season or a quality of light.

Steve Gorn has performed on the bansuri bamboo flute throughout the world. His gurus are the late masters Sri Gour Goswami of Kolkata and Pandit Raghunath Seth of Mumbai, whom he often accompanied in concert. He also studied with the late Ustad Z. M. Dagar. Steve is featured on the Grammy winning recording Miho – Journey to the Mountain, with Dhruba Ghosh and the Paul Winter Consort. In recent years he has turned his attention to the “Dharma of Sound”-- the transformative power of music which synchronizes mind and body. His bansuri flute is said to “re-align the cells.” Visit his website for more information.
