Partners

We have already announced our first partnership with the internationally renowned Maggini Quartet led by Julian Leaper and have agreed to work closely with Julian who lives locally.

Formed in 1988, the Maggini Quartet is one of the finest British string quartets.  Its acclaimed recordings have won international awards including Gramophone Chamber Music Award of the Year, Diapason d’Or of the Year and a Cannes Classical Award, and have twice been nominated for Grammy Awards. The Quartet’s most recent project has been recording the complete Mendelssohn quartet cycle for Meridian Records.

TRMS aims to have a continued close association with the Maggini Quartet and hopes that they will perform periodically for TRMS.

John Donegan, a well-known Jazz Pianist, regularly performs at the Cafe in the Crypt in St. Martin-in-the-Fields.

TRMS is pleased to introduce Indian Classical music to the people of Rickmansworth, Chorleywood and other local areas. We are pleased to announce our new relationship with Uday Bhawalkar, one of the principal proponents of Drupad, a dinstinctive discipline in Indian Classical music.

Uday Bhawalkar is a standard bearer for Dhrupad, and a strong force in its growing recognition and popularity. Uday believes that when immersed in the notes and raga, the self disappears and music takes on its own existence; the principle of the so-called ‘darshan’ or enlightenment. These values are helping him on the path of devotion to Dhrupad. It is one of the oldest forms of North Indian classical music and Uday captures and maintains its majesty and subtle nuances. It is a living and evolving classical music tradition and Uday has developed a unique style deeply embedded in ragas to express it.

Uday Bhawalkar is happy to support TRMS.

TRMS brings Indian Classical Music to Rickmansworth with Uday Bhawalkar performed on Saturday, 29th July. Details on the Past Concerts page.

The aim of the Dhrupad Music Society of UK is to spread awareness, interest and education in Dhrupad, a unique and ancient form of Indian classical music. We are keen to create opportunities for teaching, mentoring, and training in Dhrupad at all levels of ability.

Since 2000 there have been annual Dhrupad workshops in the UK, conducted by Uday Bhawalkar. From 2015, a group of dedicated Indian Music students set up the Dhrupad Music Society to preserve, protect and consolidate this great tradition.

The society successfully organises annual workshop for Indian Classical music lovers and committed enthusiasts with the help and guidance of Uday Bhawalkar. This gives opportunity for students from a wide range of different backgrounds, abilities and styles of music to learn in depth the intricacies of the Dhrupad tradition.
