Pandit Hom Nath Upadhyaya is Nepal’s foremost exponent of tabla.  As an accomplished performer, educator, and scholar, Hom Nathji has brought the music of North India and Nepal to audiences throughout the world.  Pandit Hom Nath Upadhyaya is a master teacher, performer, and scholar of the tabla, which he has played for over 40 years.















Music Circle artist-in-residence Parashuram Bhandari hails from the former Kingdom of Nepal, a country of dramatic beauty with a rich and appealing culture.  His music ranges from the exuberant to the hauntingly delicate, presented with the rhythmic power that is his signature.  Sarangi, whose name means "hundred colors," is a bowed instrument of thirty-nine strings giving it a cello-like timbre with a bright, reverberating echo.
