Yuva Utsav 2026 | A Celebration of Our Rising Young Classical Indian Artists
Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation presents Yuva Utsav 2026, an evening dedicated to young artists who are carrying Indian classical music and dance forward with focus, discipline, and artistic depth. Part of the Ra-Ve Professional Concert Series, Yuva Utsav offers a carefully curated platform for artists from Northwest Arkansas, across the U.S., and abroad who are stepping confidently into their voices as performers. The concert takes place at The Record in Bentonville, an intimate modern venue designed for close listening and meaningful connection with the art.
This concert unfolds across dance and music, beginning with local Kuchipudi dancer Akshara, followed by a full-length Kuchipudi performance by Sruthi Potturi of Dallas with live musical accompaniment. The evening then moves into instrumental and vocal music with violinist Aditya Ramani, mridangam artist Vedanth Attili performing in duet with violin, an extended tabla solo by Abhinav Kulkarni, and a Hindustani vocal performance by Shrestha Mandal. Shrestha is accompanied by her mother, Satarupa Mandal, on a rare Indian classical instrument seldom heard live, with tabla accompaniment by Rajesh Bhatt.
Together, these performances reflect tradition in motion, shaped by mentorship, dedication, and the energy of a rising generation. Yuva Utsav 2026 invites audiences to witness these artists at a pivotal moment in their journey.
