Ragas Live Festival

“24 hours of uninterrupted, absolutely incredible music performances”

- The New York Times

The festival began in 2012 as an ambitious WKCR radio broadcast produced by host David Ellenbogen at Columbia University. Fifty musicians volunteered to perform live, in-studio sets of classical raga for 24 continuous hours, taking listeners on a journey through day and night. The response—from New York to India—was immediate and enthusiastic, and the broadcast became an annual tradition.
