Renowned as Mandolin Gandharva, Sugato has captivated audiences worldwide with his unique ability to blend Gayaki-ang (vocal style) and Tantrakari (instrumental style), creating a rich and immersive musical experience.Having begun his musical journey as a child prodigy in vocal music, Sugato later dedicated himself to mastering the mandolin under the guidance of the esteemed Pt. T. N. Majumder and was privileged to train under the legendary Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. With a deep reverence for the Maihar-Seni Gharana, Sugato’s music carries the essence of this illustrious tradition while pushing the boundaries of the mandolin’s expressive capabilities. His playing evokes the resonant tones of instruments like the Veena, Rabab, Sarod, and Sitar, creating a distinctive sound that seamlessly bridges the past and present of Indian classical music.His artistry has been recognised with numerous accolades, including the prestigious Surmani title from Sur-Singar Samsad, the Gandharva Ratna award, and the Maharishi Award, presented in London by the Maharishi Foundation UK. Over the years, he has enthralled audiences at some of the most celebrated festivals and venues across India, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, from the Tansen Samaroh and Ellora Festival to international music festivals in Germany, Switzerland, and Armenia.This special concert offers a rare opportunity to witness Sugato’s virtuosity and deep emotional connection with his instrument. His crystal-clear taans, rhythmic intricacy, and profound interpretation of ragas promise an evening of meditative beauty and exhilarating musical exploration.Adding to this evening of cultural richness, Irfan Merchant of Merchant Ayurveda will present poetry, weaving words that reflect the deep spiritual and philosophical traditions intertwined with Indian classical music. His evocative verses will provide an additional layer of depth, making this a truly immersive artistic experience.A fully stocked bar will be available on the night, serving a selection of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, so you can sit back, relax, and fully immerse yourself in this enchanting evening of music and poetry.Join us for an unforgettable night of Indian classical music and poetry, where melody and verse come together to create a truly mesmerising experience. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ayr/an-evening-with-sugato-bhaduri-indian-mandolin-concert/100001977906797475 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, art, music-festivals, concerts, literary-art, live-music, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 13, max: 20, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Ayr - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: SHAPE by Narture 32 Newmarket St - **lat**: 55.4637651 - **long**: -4.632606300000001 - **full address**: SHAPE by Narture 32 Newmarket St, 32 Newmarket Street, Ayr, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Sugato Bhaduri: Indian Mandolin Concert - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/0375062551d5e783038b1afed6ea3ecf603fbf320d43492f105d2917aec24b1f-rimg-w1086-h724-dca97a44-gmir.jpg?v=1766329929 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Sugato Bhaduri: Indian Mandolin Concert being held? - **A:** An Evening with Sugato Bhaduri: Indian Mandolin Concert takes place on Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 pm at SHAPE by Narture 32 Newmarket St, 32 Newmarket Street, Ayr, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for An Evening with Sugato Bhaduri: Indian Mandolin Concert? - **A:** Ticket prices for An Evening with Sugato Bhaduri: Indian Mandolin Concert range from GBP 13 to GBP 20 depending on the ticket type.

It is a place where studio, gallery and café fuse into a community hive. We are asking the question: how do we nurture creativity to promote wellbeing?Our aspiration is to activate empty buildings and under-used spaces with regular arts and cultural events that give our creative graduates a reason to reinvent Ayr as a place of experiential retail and cultural tourism. That would see the Sandgate, Loudon Hall, South Harbour Side and the Promenade reinvigorated with interesting activities. As a part of our ‘Food for Thought’ project we would like to ask for your thoughts and suggestions as to how we can transform our town.There is no formal charge for food offerings, but donations are very welcome to support our ongoing mission to bring creative vibrancy back to our historically important town.\r\r\r\r​\r\r" } ] } ] ```
