Cassius Khan will be hosting this two-hour event and is one of Canada’s most distinct Classical Indian musicians. The skills Khan brings to the table are second to none, as he can combine classical Indian singing with the Tabla, which is a pair of hand drums from India.
For one artist to do both at the same time takes an incredible amount of skill, strength, and concentration and is a first in Indian classical music.
These two incredible artists will be sharing the stage at the Massey Theatre, located in New Westminster on Mother’s Day. The event is free for anyone who wants to spend a couple of hours enjoying some traditional music while sipping on some pleasant tea on a Sunday afternoon. Don’t miss out on this spectacular showing of art and expression, and show your support to these hard-working musicians who have spent a big part of their life perfecting their craft.
