The two day event kicked off by a tabla solo by\u00a0Ajaypal Singh with Karam Singh on sarod. This was followed by\u00a0Harsh Narayan<\/a>, grand-son of the legendary sarangi maestro Pandit Ram Narayan<\/a>, (who could not attend the event). He was paired up with Namdhari tablist\u00a0Sh. Harpreet Singh ‘Sonu’. Harsh Narayan’s\u00a0grip over the sarangi was admirable and he \u00a0communicated the emotion of the presentation \u00a0very well. There was an admirable fluidity in his performance. The concluding item of the evening was the sarod playing of \u00a0Amaan Ali Khan<\/a>, one of the two famous sons of sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan. He was accompanied on tabla by no other than\u00a0Ustad Sukhwinder Singh Namdhari.<\/a> Two two put on a classy and glossy performance to enthrall the audience in Sri Bhaini Sahib.\u00a0DAY 1 came to an end with majestic performances as expected.\"img_4830b\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The first performance of Day 2 was by some very young students of the Namdhari Kala Kendra, Sri Bhaini Sahib accompanied by Huzuri Ragi Balwant Singh Ji, who totally won the hearts of the audience present from various backgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, the second performance was one of the most awaited performances of the two day gathering. It was by vocalist Vidushi Kaushiki Chakrabarty<\/a>, daughter of Sri Ajoy Chakrabarty. Her gorgeous voice and breathtaking skills of the Patiyala Gharana certainly spellbound each and everyone present. She shared the stage with Shri Sandip Ghosh Ji<\/a> on Tabla (Farrukhabad Gharana) and the very famous Shri Ajay Joglekar<\/a> Ji accompanying on Harmonium.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"img_5512b\"The last performance of the day was a brilliant Tabla Jugalbandi by world-renowned tabla maestro Pt.Anindo Chatterjee<\/a> Ji (disciple of Pt. Jnan Prakash Ghosh Ji) and his son and disciple Shri Anubrata Chatterjee. They were accompanied by, once again, Shri Ajay Joglekar Ji. The performance left everyone spellbound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Pt. Anindo Chatterjee said in his closing note, now a day artists rarely perform to \u00a0audiences who have a long tradition of high-quality classical music. And the gathering at \u00a0Sri Bhaini Sahib were responding to all the artists\u00a0in an appreciative manner and enjoying it.<\/span><\/p>\n
