ABC Wednesday - Q for Quintet

Had been to this concert showcasing the upcoming musicians. This Quintet played Indian classical music and a mix or fusion too of Western and Indian classical music. Chirag is the musician in the centre playing the Sitar, Ninad playing the flute or Bansuri as it is called in Hindi, on the percussion instrument the 'tabla' is Ojas, keyboards - Joel and Manoj on the drums. They played very well indeed.
