Looking for a unique night out in Victoria?
A world-class Indian classical vocalist is making a rare stop on the island later this month—and it’s a performance you won’t want to miss.
India’s National Award-winning vocalist Mahesh Kale will perform with his troupe of musicians at Victoria’s McPherson Playhouse on Thursday, May 22nd.
Presented by Conexus Events, the concert will feature Kale’s celebrated vocal mastery in North Indian classical, semi-classical, natya-sangeet, and devotional music.
Kale rose to international prominence after winning India’s National Film Award for Best Playback Singer for his classical performance in the film Katyar Kaljat Ghusli. Known for blending tradition with modern appeal, Kale has captivated audiences across India, North America, Europe, and beyond.
Trained in the esteemed Gurukul tradition under Pandit Jitendra Abhisheki, Kale’s dynamic performances reflect both deep-rooted heritage and a global sensibility.
He has collaborated with iconic percussionists like Zakir Hussain and Trilok Gurtu, and has spoken at institutions such as Stanford and Harvard to promote Indian classical music.
This Victoria show is a rare opportunity for local audiences to experience one of Indian classical music’s most innovative and engaging voices live.
Tickets start at $38.25. For more details or to grab yours, visit the McPherson Playhouse box office or check out their website.
