A ``High Note`` of Our Trip

Dr. V. Balaji, a virtuosic violinist on faculty of the Performing Arts at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, in his beautiful home

Last night we had the distinct honor and blessing of being invited to the home of a distinguished professor of Hindustan music and legendary Indian violinist.

 

He gave us a private concert which included a history of traditional Hindustan music, mesmerizing chanting and the virtuosic playing of one of his own crafted violins.

He has invented incredible instruments including:

  • 11 string violin- Bala Bela
  • 25 string violin- Triveni Bela
  • 30 string violin- Shringara Bela
  • 15 string viola- Malaviya Bela
