Darbar: Genius of TM Krishna

Darbar Festival

Transport yourself to the heart of South India without leaving London for a traditional morning kacheri - the authentic Chennai experience.

Experience the transformative power of Krishna, one of India's most brilliant Carnatic vocalists, at the Darbar Festival. A revolutionary artist whose technical mastery and philosophical depth have redefined Indian classical music, Krishna breaks traditional boundaries while honouring its spiritual essence. His performances transcend concerts, combining virtuosity with a commitment to expanding Carnatic music. Don’t miss this chance to witness an artist reshaping South Indian classical music.

The morning timing is significant in South India; these concerts often begin at 9am, allowing for profound musical exploration. The continuous format builds spiritual and emotional intensity, following the sacred arc of Carnatic music: from Varnam to Krithis, reaching its peak in the RTP (Ragam-Tanam-Pallavi), and concluding with Tukkadas.

Age guidance: 5+

The performance will end at approximately 1pm.

Produced by Darbar in partnership with the Barbican
