BRM takes on the Barclays Center as part of the Social Justice Fund’s Counterpoint series which brings world-class art and performance to Brooklyn, building on the borough’s rich cultural history, and reaching new audiences. 

Come celebrate summer with us as Brooklyn Raga Massive brings together diverse ensembles exploring Raga inspired, creative music. The afternoon begins with a children’s program that introduces both kids and adults to the subtleties and nuances of this non-Western art form. Ragini Ensemble pays tribute to South Asian diasporic roots across the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. The journey continues with the psychedelic raga rock of Quadrature while Rasa Yatra celebrates the profound essence of Indian Classical Music. Finally, we culminate in a grand convergence with “In D”, BRM’s original composition in homage to minimalist maestro Terry Riley and his “In C”, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. “In D” blends raga music and Riley’s concepts with 20 musicians playing instruments from around the globe.
