Hariprasad Chaurasia, the great bamboo flute master from India, once said that if he were asked by a blind person what light is, he would respond by playing the early morning Raga, Lalit, for that person. And so today as we exit the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year back into the light and hope of the coming year we feature Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia in a performance of Rag Lalit.

Music from around the world is featured. Bringing the audience into the realm of other cultures through music, hopefully expanding empathy for the “other,” and recognizing that “other” in ourselves. From Dennis Darrah at WGDR, Goddard College Plainfield, VT. wgdr.org/.
