On 5 and 6 September 2026, the MEG will present a series of events dedicated to the classical music traditions of North India (Hindustani music), in tribute to Paul Grant.
Four workshops offering keys to listening and discovering Hindustani musical repertoires, dance, and musical instruments will be led by the Hindustani music master Pandit Nayan Ghosh, his son, the percussionist Ishaan Ghosh, and his daughter, the dancer Sharanya Ghosh.
They will be joined by Jyoti Ghosh, a musician, educator, and specialist in Indian classical music, and by the musician Sébastien Lacroix.
The programme also provides an opportunity to present to the public five of the thirteen musical instruments that once belonged to Paul Grant (1951–2024), donated to the MEG in March 2025 by Liliane de Toledo Grant. Exceptionally brought out of storage, these instruments will be presented and played on 6 September.
