A lovely idea! I will certainly try to make it to the one in Rutgers....Good luck to the group - each one of them is so awesome, I am sure the sum total will be better than the individual components.

Is there another concert in the NJ area?

The Shruti Laya concert in New York is not too far .. it will be in Queens, we're waiting to get confirmation of the venue. Hope you can make it there!
