South Indian musicians to perform at LHU

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Lock Haven University will host an evening of South Indian Music on Monday, October 20 at 7:00 p.m. in Price Performance Center. The public is invited to this free concert.

“Divine Melody in Rhythm Fantasies” is a group of internationally recognized professional musicians. The troupe members perform on a variety of traditional instruments including the veena (lute), venu (bamboo flute), violin, mrudangam (two-sided hand drum), kanjira (frame drum) and ghatam (clay pot).

Dr. Mahlon Grass, chair of the LHU performing arts department, said that the concert is part of Lock Haven University's emphasis on international education. "This will be a golden opportunity for the university and the community to see and hear a first-rate group perform on rather unusual instruments," he added.

Lock Haven University is a member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), the largest provider of higher education in the commonwealth. Its 14 universities offer more than 250 degree and certificate programs in more than 120 areas of study. Nearly 405,000 system alumni live and work in Pennsylvania.
