Festival of Tabla - Day 1

The Festival of Tabla™ (FOT) is a musical tapestry woven with threads of tradition and innovation. As the largest gathering of Indian Classical musicians on the West Coast, it’s more than a festival - it’s a cultural symphony. We’ve set a global stage where Tabla solos resonate alongside instrumental virtuosos, vocal maestros, and mesmerizing dance pieces. Here, rising talents share the spotlight with seasoned artists, creating a melodic mosaic, where every note tells a story. From India to the U.S., exceptional artists converge at the Festival where an unbiased platform provides for fresh voices to echo throughout the ages. The experience is beyond the music, and more about building bridges. FOT uplifts artists, fostering a vibrant sense of belonging, because it’s not just about the performances, it’s about weaving connections within the world music and arts community.

Within the two days - From the morning’s first beats to the evening’s crescendo, immerse yourself in a melodic journey. Let the rhythms carry you, and let your spirit soar when you witness tabla virtuosos, sarangi serenades, enchanting dances, and much more!

Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a curious newcomer, this festival invites you to experience the extraordinary. Feel the pulse, sway to the beats, and let the magic unfold. Be a part of something timeless: Soka University Performing Arts Center in Aliso Viejo awaits your presence!
