Music from India: Sahana Banerjee (Sitar) & Udai Mazumdar (Tabla)

Description

Experience a morning full of spiritual depth and technical virtuosity with two of the leading representatives of Indian classical music. Guests are the renowned sitar player Sahana Banerjee and the tabla virtuoso Udai Mazumdar, two outstanding representatives of their musical traditions. Sahana Banerjee impresses with her expressive and nuanced sitar playing. As a child of a musical family — her father was the sitar and surbahar master Pandit Santosh Banerjee — she was introduced early to the traditions of the Rampur Senia Gharana. Accompanying her is Udai Mazumdar, whose precise rhythm and many years of international concert activity make him a sought-after interpreter of the tabla. Together, they unfold the diversity of North Indian art music, where melody and rhythm merge into a lively musical dialogue. Let yourself be transported into a world full of sound nuances and rhythmic finesse. An unforgettable concert experience for connoisseurs and newcomers to Indian music culture.
