    The 2727 Artist Co-op welcomes you to an evening of music and art for their latest art exhibition "Gold". Enjoy the unique fusion of styles brought to you by Transparent Radiance in our intimate, comfortable gallery space during the golden hours of the evening.

    Transparent Radiance is a trio with Sujatha Maheshwari on flute, Alexander Karvelas a.k.a. dros on sitar/oud, and Josh Mellinger on tabla/tombak. Collectively we have been trained in Western classical, Indian classical (Hindustani) and Middle Eastern music, and blend the sounds of these traditions into harmonious tapestries.

    Wine and light refreshments will be provided.

    Gallery 2727 is wheelchair accessible.

    Wine, non-alcoholic beverages, and light refreshments will be provided.

    What's the music?

    Transparent Radiance Flute, Sitar/Oud, Tabla/Tombak

    The name of our trio is "Transparent Radiance"
    Our music blends Neo-classical, Indian Hindustani, and Middle Eastern music to create harmonious and ethereal soundscapes.
    1) "The Flower of Bhairavi"
    This piece is in Raga Bhairavi (Phrygian Mode in Western music). It begins with a contemplative duet between the flute and sitar, and then moves into rhythmic and dynamic sections that feature the tabla.
    2) "In the initial arising"
    This piece is in the Persian Maqam Hijaz (similar to the harmonic minor scale in Western music). This piece is a slow but rhythmic piece that features the flute, oud, and tombak.
    3) "Seeing with the eyes of love"
    This piece is in Raga Yaman (or Lydian mode in Western music) and features the flute, sitar, and tabla. This piece begins with a duet between the flute and sitar, and then moves into a gentle rhythmic section with the tabla.

    Where does this music come from?

    Our music is original and contains improvisations that blend 3 different traditions... Hindustani, Middle Eastern, and Western Classical music. We use scales from Hindustani and Middle Eastern traditions, and the flute blends Western classical elements into the music to create a unique tapestry of sounds.
