About This Event

The Alaya: Music & Mind Workshop is scheduled for 12 November 2026 at Bristol Folk House, starting at 12:00. This free workshop will explore the effects of raga music on mood and cognition.

A free, hands on workshop exploring how raga music can calm, focus and lift the mind, led by award-winning sarod player, musician and composer Soumik Datta and Professor of Psychiatry, Dr Naaheed Mukadam from University College of London. No experience needed. Can music change the way we feel and think? Alaya is a new music and science programme exploring how raga music affects mood, attention and memory, and this is one of its very first public sessions. Led by Soumik Datta and Dr Naaheed Mukadam, the workshop guides you through simple, joyful exercises drawn from Indian musical traditions: breathing with a drone, singing ragas and melodies, and rhythm games using Indian vocal syllables. Along the way, Naaheed shares what science is beginning to tell us about how music shapes the brain. A
