Celebrating Women of Tabla!

Taalim School of Indian Music presents:

“CELEBRATING WOMEN OF TABLA”

The tabla is a male-dominated instrument, and the number of professional female tabla players in the world is slim.  In March, Taalim School will hold a special concert celebrating women percussionists.  The event will coincide with National Women’s History Month, and will be one-of-a-kind in that it will feature only female tabla players.

Celebrating Women of Tabla!

The Reformed Church of Highland Park
19-21 South 2nd Ave.
