PART A: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 4th consecutive event of Bhilwara Sur Sangam for the year 2015 concluded with some enchanting
performances from legendaries across the country. Pt Bhuvanesh Komkali, Pt Anindo Chatterjee, Pt
Kumar Bose, Pt Ajoy Chakrabarty and Sushri Kaushiki Chakrabarty enthralled the audience with their
spell-bound performances.
The first day of the musical fest saw performances by Pt Bhuvanesh Komalki whose deep, mellifluous
voice melted the heart of the listeners. He presented Tukaram, along with Namdev, Dnyaneshwar,
Janabai and Eknath. Tukaram is the high point of the Bhagabata Hindu tradition revered in the ‘warakari’
way which emphasizes community service and musical group worship. Tukaram's kirtanas, or religious
discourses, focused on love for fellow human beings as the expression of true religion rather than rituals
and mechanical study of the scriptures. Trained by accomplished teachers in the fundamentals of music,
Bhuvanesh's commitment has deepened to preserve and extend his heritage which reflects in his
presentation of a omposition a raga.
On the second day, the enchanting Tabla Jugalbandi by renowned Tabla players, Pt Anindo Chatterjee &
Pt Kumar Bose was brilliantly kept in tune with the present day trends and they showed how the Tabla
has both emotion and expression. Padma Shri winner Pt Ajoy Chakrabarty is considered one of the vocal
legends of Indian Classical music. Although considered a scion and doyen of the Patiala-Kasur Gharana
(style) he represented Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Sahib’s gayaki and also portrayed features of other
major classical gharanas of India like Jaipur, Gwalior and Carnatic music of South India. Sushri Kaushiki
Chakrabarty, daughter of Pt Ajoy Chakrabarty, is from Patiala Gharana and sang various khayals and
semi-classical music
The event was well received by the audiences which could be judged by the feedback they shared.
