Experience Carnatic (South Indian classical) music like never before. On the 29th October, as part of Indika Festival, A Carnatic Quartet visit Liverpool, hosting two concerts at Liverpool’s beloved Philharmonic.
A Carnatic Quartet brings together four trailblazing artists – Shreya Devnath (violin), Mylai M Karthikeyan (nadhaswaram), Praveen Sparsh (mridangam), and Adyar G Silambarasan (thavil) – in a powerful exploration of sound, tradition, and collaboration.
At 2pm, Milap present a special concert designed just for children and families, featuring the dynamic Carnatic Quartet. This interactive performance is a joyful, high-energy introduction to the fascinating world of Carnatic music. Expect stunning sounds, fun rhythm games, and plenty of chances to get involved – whether it’s clapping along to the beat or discovering how these powerful instruments work together.
Perfect for curious young minds, budding musicians, and anyone ready to be amazed, this is a rare chance to see four incredible artists bring music to life – up close and unplugged. Let the rhythms spark imagination and the melodies open up a world of wonder.
With endless fun for the family, tickets are only £6.60 and available here:
Later in the day at 19:30, the Quartet return again for Together. Curated by violinist Shreya Devnath, Together is a bold musical conversation between four instruments that rarely share the stage. The melodic grace of the violin meets the raw, majestic voice of the nadhaswaram; the intricate rhythms of the mridangam blend with the explosive energy of the thavil. Each instrument brings with it its own world – distinct histories, styles, and cultural roots – yet in this quartet, they unite to create something wholly unique.
This isn’t just a concert. It’s a celebration of the Carnatic tradition – unfiltered, unbound, and alive with possibility. Get your tickets for the concert here:
