Step into a transcendent musical journey where sound becomes devotion and tradition becomes transcendence. Surrender: The Timeless Experience of the Music of India is not merely a performance—it is an invitation to reflect, release, and reconnect through music that awakens the senses, traverses human emotions, and stills the soul.
Led by the soul-stirring vocals of GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Falu, this immersive concert draws upon centuries of Indian musical heritage, where sound serves as a sacred path to surrender—especially to the presence of the divine. Inspired by Darshan, the ancient act of witnessing the divine, Surrender channels the meditative and communal power of music to guide both artist and audience to a higher plane of being.
The evening’s program weaves together a vibrant tapestry of Indian musical forms, from Vedic chants and classical ragas to ecstatic kirtans and the expressive beauty of Thumri. Each moment serves as a doorway to joy, longing, love, stillness, and ultimately—surrender.
On this transformative journey, the sounds of instruments traverse the ancient to the modern—from sarangi and violin to harmonium and accordion—creating a soundscape that is as diverse as it is devotional. Together, the ensemble offers a space where the ancient and the current, the personal and the universal, merge in harmony.
In an age of relentless noise, Surrender invites audiences to return to the essence—where music becomes meditation, memory, and mirror. This is not just a concert, but a night of sacred witness. A sonic offering. A journey inward toward stillness.
