District of Raga is proud to present violinist Kamalakiran Vinjamuri live on the Main Stage at the 2026 Strawberry Festival at Sandy Spring Museum.
A beloved community tradition for more than 40 years, the Strawberry Festival transforms the museum grounds into a vibrant celebration of music, food, arts, and summertime joy. This year’s Main Stage lineup features an eclectic day of performances spanning Americana roots music, jazz, Japanese taiko drumming, Celtic traditions, folk dance, and global performance traditions from around the world.
Representing District of Raga, Kamalakiran Vinjamuri brings the electrifying sound of Carnatic violin to the festival stage. Rooted in the classical music traditions of South India, Carnatic music is known for its intricate rhythmic interplay, soaring improvisation, and expressive melodic depth. Kamalakiran’s performance offers audiences an energetic and deeply engaging introduction to one of the world’s great classical traditions.
Join us for an afternoon of dynamic live music as District of Raga brings South Asian performing arts to one of Montgomery County’s most cherished summer celebrations. 🍓🎻
