Utsav Lal

Profile Image

Utsav Lal is the world’s leading player of the fluid piano, a novel creation which features string-sliding mechanisms, allowing pianists to access the ‘spaces between the notes’. He uses the instrument’s new microtonal capabilities to capture the nuances of raga music, with a style deeply influenced by Dhrupad and Hindustani classical as well as jazz and the Western piano repertoire. Now based out of New York, he teaches and performs, bringing new contexts and sonorities to traditional Indian classical music.


"I believe Indian classical music is the most evolved form of musical expression and it’s the genre that gives me the most satisfaction."



Darbar believes in the power of Indian classical music to stir, thrill, and inspire. Explore our YouTube channel, or subscribe to the Darbar Concert Hall to watch extended festival performances, talk and documentaries in pristine HD and UHD quality.
