Indian music follows a long and unbroken tradition over the past 2500 years and is represented by a variety of different genres from classical and semi-classical to folk and popular music. This concert features the sounds of traditional North Indian music.The selection of songs, some of which were written by famous Indian Saint-poets, date back to the 15th and 16th centuries and are based mainly on themes of love, devotion and spirituality. They are interpreted through the ragas of Hindustani Classical music in the traditional style, emphasizing the meaning and creating a mood, highlighted by particular vocal techniques and the play of the accompanying instruments.

"You should be able to stand a spoon upright in a good pea soup."  This is what I've been told by the Dutch. Dutch pea soup is ‘erwtensoep’, sometimes misspelled 'ertwensoep,' and is pronounced air-ten-soup. Sometimes in the Netherlands this soup is also called 'snert.' It makes for a very hearty meal and usually eaten during the colder months in the Netherlands, especially after ice skating.
