Safeeya Pirani visited Coquitlam’s Place des Arts to learn how two local artists are staying connected to their culture through Indian classical music and how they are sharing the rich art form with the wider community. Thank you Global BC Arts & Culture and Safeeya Pirani for featuring The Art of Sarod curated by Nina Buddhdev.

Plus, thank you to everyone who joined us for The Art of Sarod on Sunday, February 23, 2025. It was truly special to immerse ourselves in the rich sounds of the sarod and tabla, celebrating the beauty of Indian classical music.

A heartfelt thank you to Dwaipayan Ray and Hriday Buddhev for their mesmerizing performances, and to all who stayed for the engaging Q&A and instrument showcase. Thank you to Nina Buddhdev for curating this amazing performance and program at Place des Arts!

It was wonderful to see PdA Board President Matthew Sebastiani in attendance, and we deeply appreciate MP Bonita Zarrillo for joining us. Special thanks to Tricities Community Television for covering the event!

This unforgettable event was presented by Place des Arts, curated by Nina Buddhdev, and proudly supported by the Bandish Network and the Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra.
