About the book

Indian classical music is an important part of our culture and concerts are an important part of Indian classical music. While concerts serve as recreation for some people, they are educative to students and youngsters aspiring to explore the world of Indian classical music. The sound perceived by the listener is often as good as the acoustics of the space where the performance is happening. The role of the performance space in a concert cannot be undermined. At the same time, the quality of sound perceived does not depend on the acoustics of the space alone, but is a function of several other aspects.

This book studies various performance spaces of Indian classical music from the past up to the present. It also explores other important factors that influence the concert experience for the performer as well as the listener. Finally, it prescribes some guidelines by following which the overall aural experience in a concert can be improved.
