The Classical Ragas Ensemble presents the music of the court tradition of North India, a unique heritage that combines the purity of tradition and structural architecture of chamber music with the dynamic improvisatory freedom of small-ensemble jazz.

Originating in the palaces of the great Moghul emperors, established in the West by the great maestros Ali Akbar Khan and Ravi Shankar, this music has become one of the world's premier art music traditions.
