Music in Bengaluru: Nada Sambhrama’s Third Edition with Abhishek Raghuram

Bengaluru: There are concerts that entertain, and then there are concerts that elevate. The third edition of Nada Sambhrama, presented by The Nadathur Foundation, is a celebration of music in Bengaluru at its purest. A free-entry Carnatic concert featuring renowned vocalist Abhishek Raghuram, this evening promises an immersion into rhythm, devotion, and deeply rooted tradition.

Set to take place on the 28th of June, 2025, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the Mangala Mantapa Auditorium in NMKRV College Campus, Jayanagar, the concert is part of a larger cultural movement to promote music in Bengaluru through open, accessible platforms. Nada Sambhrama has steadily become a beacon for classical music lovers across the city, curating unforgettable evenings led by exceptional talent.

Abhishek Raghuram, one of the most compelling voices in Indian classical music today, brings a rare intensity and emotional depth to every performance. His interpretations of ragas are cerebral yet soulful, rooted in tradition but always evolving. Raised in a musical household—grandson of mridangam legend Palakkad Raghu and son of vocalist Usha—Abhishek’s upbringing was steeped in the very essence of music in Bengaluru, shaped by legacy and relentless learning.

Mentored by the illustrious Shri P.S. Narayanaswamy, Abhishek learned early on that music is not just about precision—it is about surrender. Today, he is known for performances that challenge the intellect and stir the heart, making him a leading light in the world of Carnatic music.

Their interplay promises not just technical finesse, but a conversation in rhythm and melody that lingers long after the last note fades.

By making concerts like these free and open to all, the Nadathur Foundation is helping cultivate a deeper appreciation for classical forms in an ever-evolving city.
