Event Details Taalim Foundation for Indian Arts presents Tabla Ecstasy - Live in Concert The globe-trotting tabla ensemble Tabla Ecstasy returns to Toronto to kick off their Canadian tour. Four percussionists distill the age-old spirit and practice of tabla into a high-energy, highly accessible evening that reveals the instrument’s true joys. Composed by Tabla Guru Pandit Divyang Vakil, Tabla Ecstasy keeps to the spirit of Indian classical music, which is about devotion and not entertainment, while expanding its palette and its audience. Each concert moves between rousing peaks and slower, smooth meditative passages not usually associated with percussion. It’s not uncommon to catch audience members—from teenage hipsters to cosmopolitan professionals—bopping along to the pulse, or in tears or in awe after the hour-and-a-half-long journey through different tempos and timbres.
