Join us for a unique concert hosted and performed by Aimee Wilson and Aradhna (meaning "adoration" in Hindi)
Acclaimed Indian/ North American fusion band Aradhna and local confidants Aimee Wilson and the Factorye, will gather in the century-old meeting room of Broad Street Ministry for a night of music.
Aradhna has powerfully melded Indian classical melody, rhythm, and devotional lyrics, with the sounds of folk and post rock. An "intimate yet immense sound."

A bit from Aradhna's biography:
"Somehow, Aradhna has been able to glide past the subterfuge of globalization and establish itself as a band that is genuinely interested in creating cross-cultural dialogue through the arts.
It is impossible to listen to Aradhna without a sense that something much deeper is brooding under the music. Spirituality is such an easy term to throw around when speaking about a thing you can’t explain but nonetheless feel. It’s a term that breeds ambiguity and at times, misunderstanding. Nonetheless it is a word that is necessary in describing the formation and subsequent work of Aradhna. After all, the name of the band is the spiritually charged Hindi term that means “adoration.” "
