Today we feature the music of Chandraveena S. Balachander who in part takes his name from an instrument he designed, the Chandraveena, which seems to be an attempt to bring together in one instrument the different qualities found in both the North Indian Rudra Veena and the South Indian Saraswati Veena.

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/.
