Allegheny Unitarian Church hosting sitar concert

Allegheny Unitarian Church, at 416 West North Avenue, is hosting a concert of Hindustani (North Indian) music by sitar player Michael Griska on March 27, at 7:30 p.m. The concert is one of a series presented by Academy Concerts at Allegheny Church.

Michael spent years in intensive study with the revered artist, Pandit K. Sridhar. Hindustani music is a spiritual practice as much as a musical one, and Michael’s performances take the audience on a musical and spiritual journey.
