Diwali morning concerts, the tradition that started in Maharashtra 2 decades back is now spreading to other parts of the country and abroad becoming an inseparable part of Diwali celebrations. The idea is to start the festivities early morning before the dawn breaks with meditative notes of classical and light music performed by renowned artists. The auditorium is decorated with colorful lanterns rangolis and lamps. The audience comes in their best traditional attire. The entire environment is fresh and pleasant, filled with lights and colors. We are hoping to spread the same spirit through this concert here in Seattle.

We are continuing the tradition of the morning Diwali concert that started with the graceful performance by the late Dr. Sharad Gadre two years ago. He was the one to encourage us to organize this concert the first year. Also he had wished that it was a beginning of long lasting tradition in our area. From this year, we are dedicating the Asha Diwali Concert in his honor by naming it
"Dr. Sharad Gadre Memorial Diwali Concert". We thank Mrs. Shaila Gadre for allowing us to do so.

This year's concert will feature performances by


accompanied by
Jayant Bhopatkar (Tabla) and Makarand Gadre (Harmonium)
