On October 12th, 2025, the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre at NCPA in Mumbai witnessed a captivating fusion of classical Indian music and global sounds as Santoor maestro Rahul Sharma took the stage. The concert, a curtain-raiser charity event organized to support the preservation of Mumbai's historic Kala Ghoda Art District, was a resounding success.
Rahul Sharma, renowned worldwide for redefining the Santoor, performed with an exceptional ensemble featuring Ojas Adhiya on tabla, Vinayak Pol on drums, Avinash Chandrachud on keyboard, and Amit Gadgil on bass guitar. This powerful combination created a dynamic soundscape where Indian classical melodies intertwined seamlessly with Western classical, Kashmiri folk, jazz, and even Beatles classics. The Santoor, traditionally viewed as an accompaniment instrument, was front and center, leading the charge in this innovative fusion.

Rahul Sharma's performance was more than a concert—it was a celebration of heritage, innovation, and the unifying power of music.
