Concert-goers at the first event of this year's Wokingham Summer Festival were transported to North India as the church was filled with the mesmerising sounds of ragas for Evening and for Cloudy weather.
Prahbat Rao and friends opened the Summer Festival with an intimate recital of Hindustani music on traditional instruments. There were explanations from Prahbat of the nature of this distinctive genre. A final raga, written by Prahbat's musical guru, was played in dedication to her; she and her husband were present in the audience.
The youngest member of the audience was a six year old girl, pupil of All Saints Church School, who had asked to be brought by her parents because she'd heard Indian music before and liked it.
