The nonprofit Raaga is inviting the community to a peaceful afternoon of music this Sunday with a free mandolin concert featuring artists from the South Indian classical tradition.

Raaga secretary Dr. Shaila Singh said the organization designs its concerts to feel warm and welcoming, with artists often seated on the floor and surrounded by soft carpets and traditional instruments.

“[We] started to just do smaller, intimate events to promote more cultural integrity and knowledge,” Singh said. “We have a speaker who will introduce the artists and describe a little bit about the instruments and the music, so people do learn a lot. Our main aim is to learn and enjoy Indian classical music, which is very popular in India. But, you know, we are trying to promote it to this area of Florida.”
