Join us on the mezzanine for an exciting new series of concerts at the Central Branch.
This event takes place on the mezzanine located on the 2nd floor of Central library. Drop-in, no registration required. Everyone is welcome.
In January, we are excited to feature Bhai Harpinder Singh and his team, who bring the rich tradition of Sikh devotional music to life through Indian classical artistry and heartfelt kirtan. The performance will also showcase the talents of students from the Sikh Society Regina, highlighting traditional instruments such as the harmonium, tabla, rabab, and dilruba, offering a rich and authentic musical experience.
About the Musicians:
Bhai Harpinder Singh serves as the head musician at the Sikh Society Regina, where he, alongside Bhai Bikramjit Singh, teaches harmonium and tabla to students on the weekends. Their dedication to preserving and promoting Sikh musical traditions is evident in their work with the youth, fostering a deep appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of kirtan. They are two of the very few Sikh musicians, commonly known as Raagis, who have the honour of performing kirtan inside the Golden Temple on a regular basis. Their profound knowledge of Indian classical music, combined with their remarkable ability to compose original pieces, sets them apart as exceptional artists in their field. Both are currently based in Regina.
Central Library, the largest of the nine Branches in the Regina Public Library system, is a social and informational hub in the heart of downtown Regina. The Library maintains an extensive calendar of programs, training opportunities, art exhibits in the Dunlop Art Gallery, along with film screenings in the Library's very own repertory film theatre!
