With passion and playfulness, they perform Ragas which are ancient patterns of melodic movement meant to evoke a certain mood or feeling.The Mishras take the traditional ragas and perform their own remarkable improvisational compositions, adding a spirited call and response dynamic to their exquisite musical forms. Extending the boundaries of the traditional raga, Evenson's silver flute weaves its spell and beautiful female voices, viola and natural sounds of India enhance the mood.
