Rhythmic Travails: PanthaVeena: Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty

Jhankar NICA [Nottingham Indian Cultural Association] is delighted to host Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty. A scion of the Patiala-Kasur Gharana (style), Panditji’s expertise extends to portrayal of subtleties of all major classical schools of India. The Indian classical genre stems from the centuries old oral-aural tradition and this performance will see the maestro create music on stage based on ancient melodic structures (Thaats/Ragas) , tracing the travails of Indian classical vocal music over time. It will be a proud moment for Nottingham to experience an internationally renowned artiste, who has graced prestigious global venues. Panditji will be accompanied by Mr Soumen Sarkar on the tabla (traditional percussion instrument), Mr Meher Paralikar on vocal support and on the tanpura (drone instrument), and Mr Gourab Chatterjee on the harmonium (a reed organ). We are grateful to Geetanjali Academy of Fine Arts Ltd. for facilitating this concert.

Doors open 4:30pm.
