Join Sampad and B: Music this Saturday, April 12, for a special edition of Midday Mantra, celebrating Vaisakhi — a festival that marks the harvest season and the birth of the Khalsa in Sikh tradition. Held at the Jennifer Blackwell Performance Space in Symphony Hall, Birmingham, this uplifting daytime event invites you to take a cultural pause and experience the richness of South Asian musical heritage.
Midday Mantra is more than a concert series — it’s a space where music becomes a bridge between communities, generations, and traditions. Curated by Sampad, a leading arts organisation dedicated to showcasing South Asian arts, the series brings together celebrated and emerging artists from across the globe. From classical Indian ragas to contemporary fusion, each performance is a journey through sound, history, and identity.
This Vaisakhi edition promises a soul-stirring performance that reflects the festival’s themes of gratitude, unity, and joy. Whether you’re already immersed in the traditions or discovering them for the first time, this is a chance to enjoy world-class music in a warm, inclusive atmosphere.
Perfect for a lunchtime break or a cultural outing with friends and family, the event is free to attend — just drop in and let the music move you.
