Choosing Musicians for a Kirtan Programme
Kirtan is participatory, which makes artist arrangement, sound placement and the programme’s flow especially important.
Make participation part of the plan
Consider how the gathering will join in and position the performers so the lead voice and accompaniment can support that experience.
Select the supporting format
A lead singer may be joined by rhythm and melodic accompaniment. The desired style, location and duration help determine the suitable setup.
Keep the technical setup unobtrusive
Microphones and sound support should serve the programme without becoming a distraction. Review the venue acoustics and guest layout before finalising equipment.
