Welcome to Sangeet the Indian Classical music show with your host Rungun today.

Good morning Rungun! Love to hear your cheerful voice!

Good Morning @Addie and welcome one of our regulars on Sangeet. Thanks for saying that @Addie - means a lot

I've been looking forward to this all morning! Good morning everybody. I'm leaving shortly for the Sakura festival at phl horticulture center but will stay tuned in

Welcone @Tyler B. Thank you for looking forwrd and we at Sangeet also share the sentiment and look forward to our listeners. I need to look up at Sakura Festival you mention

@Tyler - did you mean Subaru Festival - enjoy the flowers and the bloom

Hey Rungun! Nice to hear you on the radio again, I'm looking forward to an excellent 3 hours of your selections before I rest for the day.

Subaru festival is the cherry blossom festival, yes!

Hey Addie and Tyler! The cherry blossoms in the park across from my place look like they may be ready to bloom within the next week or so.

Hahaha TAndy is this how you wind down your night?

Good morning TAndy and Tyler!

Yeppers, Tyler!

@TAndy welcome and will do my best to meet that bar you have set my friend.

Its funny, i drove past Ivy Hill cemetery and saw the start of a good bloom in there. So I thought to check when the Sakura fest was and it happened to be this Saturday

@Tyler - @TAndy has been doing for it years and we at Sangeet have helped him from what he tells us. We are happy we can help him wind down after a long day (or should i say night)

So I'm hoping for good things when I arrive

Next Saturday however I'll most likely be waking up during Sangeet, since I'm taking off for a couple of days. That's something I'll be looking forward to myself :)

@Tyler B - looks like you live in my neck of the woods - I am in Bala Cynwyd and come 52 miles to the station. I have drive down Belmont and Ivy Hill later today to enjoy what you are decribing

@Rungun, It's a surreal thought, but the TAndys night time is much brighter than ours.

Oh cool! I am familiar with Bala Cynwyd, and live in Glenside, myself.

@TAndy - enjoy your well deserved break and thrilled to hear you will wake up to Sangeet instead of ZZZzzzzzing away :-)

@TAndy that's fantastic, congrats on your upcoming time off

52 miles is quite a commute, I really appreciate you doing that for us!

@Tyler - the love for Indian Classical Music makes me do that. All of us Sangeet host travel some distance to get here - we love what we do, hopefully it shows :-)

I'm familiar with a commute of that length, one advantage to it was that it gave me an hour to prepare and decompress, along with getting to drive to some sick tunes.

The microphone breaks are everything bit as enjoyable as the music on this show

TAndy - I look at the positive as you stated - time to prepare, decompress, listen to news, listen to music or enjoy the quiet - I pick different themes on different days. My work commute is almost similar :-)

@Tyler B - glad you enjoy the mic breaks. It is extempore and driven by the music and people in the chat room :-)

Oh dear, I better be more interesting in the chat after that endorsement!

I’m excited for the magnolia trees blooming right now as well. I plan to go visit my favorite one today!

Cherry blossom in bloom in Nj

@Addie - no pressures,, just be you and we enjoy your inout

@Xehl Uggae - welcome and where in particular in NJ?

Fort dix this sitar is beautiful

@Xehl - never that expression "Fort Dix"...

Hah, I am now going to use “fort dix” as an exclaimation.

It’s a military base in NJ!

@Addie - I knew that, but I was wondering what it meant in a comment. Loved how you took it and made it an exclamation and I am going to do that more :-)

Oh haha!

I’m driving around Pemberton enjoying this music very much 😃

Fort Dix - I only learnt about Jasrangi Jugalbandhi as I researched for this show :-)

The white throated sparrow does something similar with a duet of pitch change but this is much more moving

@Xehl - I wish Pemberton was on my way home. Enjoy. and thanks for the info about the white throated sparrow (just looked it up)

If you get four or more chaining their chorus in the oak canopy it is haunting

Or pines !

Wow @Xehl

I detect A A minor

Hi Rungun, good morning! Great show today.

I can’t throat sing to save my life

@Swami - good morning and welcome to the show. Thanks for complement - I try. Our WA group also gives me some songs to play. Love that you created that group

@Xehl - I am with you on singing. I have tried the flute and it makes me happy, but will drive most people away how I play :-)

@Xehl that is so interesting about the sparrow!

This music is needed now more than ever great show, I’ve listened many times for sat break

@Xehl - maybe we can become your sat break. Sangeet is on every Saturday 9:00 am to 12:00

Yes music needed in this world and so is peace :-)

🙌

That piece by Vilina Patra & Sai Panchal - was fantastic. Thanks for the knowledgeable intro to the Jasarangi Jugalbandhi duet, for those of us not musically educated!

Today evening, we have a live concert organized by Indian Music Society of Minnesota (IMSOM) here in the twin cities. VVS Murari & Ashwani Shankar (Carnatic Violin & Hindustani Shehnai duet). They will be accompanied by Sai Giridhar on Mridangam and Arup Chattopadhyay on Tabla.

Thanks Swami for that info. Will try to get their music for my next show. Go and enjoy the concert - live concerts are so much fun

On Saturday, April 11, 2026, IMSOM is bringing a 10:00AM (Morning Concert) by Ashwini Bhide Deshpande (Hindustani Vocal)!! I am so looking forward to that.
