Abstract

In 2020, the Aula de Música of the University of Valladolid and the Fundación Casa de la India organized the exhibition Tesoros Musicales de la India, in which a valuable collection of instruments that belonged to the renowned sarod performer Radhika Mohan Maitra was displayed. This text offers a retrospective account of the circumstances surrounding the exhibition, accompanied by a brief reflection on the performativity of the virtual streaming infrastructure developed for the occasion, as well as a catalogue of the instruments, including their dates of creation and their classification within Bharata (India) and Hornbostel–Sachs (the West) systems.
