Tabla for Two greeted the new moon with a Full Moon Concert on Friday 13th of June, 2014 in Washington, DC.
The full moon energy was apparent when the 65 people in attendance hooted and howled with appreciation. The energy in the room matched the energy from the new moon. It was a beautiful magical evening. The hostess served a complete Indian dinner that compliment the music.
The setting for our concert on May 20 at Hemphill Fine Arts was rich and luxurious. We were surrounded by the masterfully painted Cityscapes of Martin Kotler. Thank you to all who attended!

Our latest CD, hot off the press!
Tabla for Two was honored to play before an attentive and appreciative Afghan community at the television station studio of Dr. Nadir Atash, Roshna TV, in Sterling, Virginia on Friday evening April 25.
There were 50-60 men and women in attendance. The Afghan women came up to Abigail after the performance, hugging her and thanking her deeply for helping to keep the tradition of their music alive. They told her how moving it was to see an American woman commit to learning and playing their music. The men also voiced their deep appreciation. It was the first time that Tabla for Two played before that community.

On April 13, a beautiful Sunday evening, Tabla for Two had the pleasure of attending the extraordinary Zakir Hussain & Masters of Percussion concert at the Kennedy Center Opera House, where every seat was filled. This performance was graced by the amazing classical dance of Antonia Minnecola, who took command of the stage.
Zakir Hussain and Masood Omari share the Punjab lineage of Indian classical music.

Masood Omari’s tabla master class on February 11 at Mercyhurst University was extremely well attended. Masood gave a tabla demonstration, followed by a beginners lesson to a fourth year music major. Fun was had by all!
