And how does one find one’s own voice within a practice shaped by generations of practitioners?\nIn this edition of ‘Musicians in the Museum’, composer and musician Vasu Dixit will be in conversation with Parvathi Baul, one of the foremost practitioners of the Baul tradition. The conversation will trace Parvathi’s journey into Baul Sangeet, exploring the experiences, encounters and influences that have shaped her artistic and spiritual practice.\nFrom her early encounters with the tradition to a life dedicated to its music, philosophy and performance, the conversation will also reflect on what it means to be a woman practising and carrying forward a tradition in which women practitioners have historically been fewer in number.\nThrough personal anecdotes and reflections on music, devotion and the transmission of cultural knowledge, the programme offers an opportunity to encounter the world of Baul music through the lived experience of one of its most distinctive contemporary voices.\nAbout the Artist: Parvathy Baul\n\nParvathy Baul is a practitioner, performer and teacher of the Baul tradition from Bengal. An accomplished singer, instrumentalist, storyteller and painter, her practice emerges from the lineage of two eminent Baul masters, Sri Sanatan Das Thakur Baul and Sri Shashanko Goshai, under whom she studied closely. Rooted in a deep spiritual practice, her performances have taken her to over 40 countries and renowned international festivals and cultural institutions. A recipient of the 2019 Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, Parvathy is also committed to preserving and transmitting the Baul tradition through Sanatan Siddhashram, which she established in West Bengal, and her work in making traditional Baul learning accessible to women.\nAbout the Interlocuto\n\nVasu Dixit is a Bengaluru-based musician, composer and filmmaker, best known as the lead vocalist of the folk-rock band Swarathma, which he formed in 2002. A graduate of the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, Vasu brings together his interests in music, visual arts and storytelling in his creative practice. In 2017, he founded the Vasu Dixit Collective, an ensemble that explores electronic folk and folk-rock, drawing inspiration from Kannada and Hindi poetry and the works of saint poets such as Purandara Dasa, Basavanna and Kabir. His work reflects an ongoing exploration of musical traditions through contemporary expression.\nAbout the Series: Musicians in the Museum\nMusicians in the Museum is a series of artist conversations at the Indian Music Experience Museum that offers audiences an opportunity to understand the people and experiences behind the music. Through conversations with musicians from different genres and generations, the series explores their personal, professional and artistic journeys – from their early influences and formative experiences to their creative processes, challenges and evolving practices.\nPrevious editions have featured artists including Indian Ocean, Sumangala Damodaran and Dr Jayanthi Kumaresh. The series creates a space for audiences to engage with musicians beyond the stage and gain a deeper understanding of the stories, ideas and influences that shape their work.\nDate and time: 21 November 2026, Saturday11:30 AM\nVenue: IME Museum,JP Nagar 7th phase,Bengaluru – 560078\nRegistration: Click Here\nTicket:  Free to attend with RSVP[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]\n
