# Event Details - **Event Name**: All in the Family: A Percussion Ensemble - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm - **Event Description**: All in the Family: A Percussion EnsembleFeaturing V. Selvaganesh (kanjira), V. Umashankar (ghatam), Swaminathan (kanjira, konnakol), N. Rajaram (ghatam), A. Ganesan (morsing) and Tathva (konnakol) with Aditya Kalyaanpur (tabla)Over the centuries, music traditions in India have thrived solely on account of the oral-aural mode of communication from the guru to shishya, carrying forth the artistic legacy from one generation to the next in an unbroken manner.Percussion instruments play a significant role in Indian music performance. Besides providing rhythmic support to vocal music and melody instruments, they are also capable of presenting solo music.In this percussion ensemble, six artistes representing three generations of a musical family perform together, epitomising the spirit of the guru-shishya tradition in the true sense.The instruments include ghatam (lit. a pot), specially baked with clay mixed with brass or copper and small amounts of iron filings. It has a narrow mouth that slants downwards to form a ridge. Held in the lap, this is akin to gharha from the Punjabi folk tradition.Kanjira is a hand-held frame drum, while morsing (morchung, akin to Jew’s harp) has a metal fork manoeuvred by the tongue and fingers. Konnakol is a rhythmic language that uses specific syllables to represent drum strokes and patterns, essentially acting as a spoken percussion system. The tabla is a widely used pair of drums made of wood and metal, both covered with leather tops and played with bare hands.As sons of the legendary ghatam maestro T. H. ‘Vikku’ Vinayakram, Selvaganesh and Umashankar carry forth their father’s legacy. Renowned for his mastery over the kanjira and his contributions to both Carnatic and fusion music, Selvaganesh has gained global recognition through his performances with legendary maestros and groups like Remember Shakti. He has also explored various international musical genres, including jazz, blues, flamenco, Celtic and Latin music. While Rajaram, nephew of Vinayakram, and Umashankar play ghatam like their mentor, Swaminathan, grandson of Vinayakram, has adopted the kanjira like his father Selvaganesh, besides also engaging in konnakol. Ganesan, disciple of Vinayakram, wields the morsing, and Tathva, seven-year-old granddaughter of Selvaganesh, engages in the art of konnakol like her uncle, Swaminathan.As a special artiste, Aditya Kalyaanpur joins the ensemble with the tabla. He is a disciple of tabla maestro Allarakha and his inimitable son Zakir Hussain. The ensemble of south and north Indian percussions will pay a tribute to Hussain, whom we lost a year ago.Age Limit: 6+Late entry will not be permitted. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/mumbai/all-in-the-family-a-percussion-ensemble/3900029202051624 - **Event Categories**: art, live-music, music, theatre, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 24 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 6 - Duration: 2 Hours - Location: Tata Theatre: NCPA ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://in.bookmyshow.com/events/citi-ncpa-aadi-anant-day-2/ET00469731 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 500, currency: INR ## Event venue details - **city**: Mumbai - **state**: MH - **country**: India - **location**: Tata Theatre: NCPA - **lat**: 19.0759837000 - **long**: 72.8776559000 - **full address**: Tata Theatre: NCPA, Nariman Point, NCPA Marg, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400021, India ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/470ac030-d7fd-11f0-acca-272cf2c95e55-rimg-w1200-h600-dc2b2d7b-gmir.jpg?v=1765614326 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/4762cb40-d7fd-11f0-965b-ab1dfd503d60-rimg-w300-h300-dc2c3189-gmir.jpg?v=1765614327 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Tata Theatre: NCPA, Nariman Point, NCPA Marg, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400021, India - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 500 INR - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Event Navigator - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, live-music, music, theatre, entertainment - **Q**: What is the age limit of the event? - **A:** 6 - **Q**: What is the duration of the event? - **A:** 2 Hours - **Q**: What is the location of the event? - **A:** Tata Theatre: NCPA - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about All in the Family: A Percussion Ensemble ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "All in the Family: A Percussion Ensemble", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/470ac030-d7fd-11f0-acca-272cf2c95e55-rimg-w1200-h600-dc2b2d7b-gmir.jpg?v=1765614326", "startDate": "2025-12-13", "url": "https://allevents.in/mumbai/all-in-the-family-a-percussion-ensemble/3900029202051624", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Tata Theatre: NCPA", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Nariman Point, NCPA Marg, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400021, India", "addressLocality": "Mumbai", "addressRegion": "MH", "addressCountry": "IN" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "19.0759837000", "longitude": "72.8776559000" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "All in the Family: A Percussion EnsembleFeaturing V.
