First half featuring Pandit Ranajit Sengupta
Pandit Ranajit Sengupta is widely recognised as one of the leading sarod musicians of our time.

In this concert, he will be accompanied by brilliant tabla maestro Kousic Sen.
“His style of sarod playing resembles that of Ali Akbar Khan and reminds of the lyricism so much associated with the late Ustad, once described by Yehudi Menuhin as the greatest instrumentalist of all times”. (The Hindu, India)Second half featuring Aditi Mangaldas
