More firsts on tonight's show, including music by Ustad Shahid Parvez and the first in-studio guest of the semester.
But first, here's what played last Monday (19th October), since I did not update the blog in time:
Ustad Vilayat Khan (sitar) - Raga Jhinjhoti, along with Hidayat Khan (sitar) and Sukhvinder Singh (tabla)
Back to this week, we're really excited to let you know that Ustad Shahid Parvez, one of the finest Sitar players who has been performing live 46 years now (his first performance was at the age of 8!), is coming to Atlanta. Not just that, he's coming to perform at Georgia Tech! Ustad Shahid Parvez's genius demonstrates how he has done more than justice to the lineage of musical legends that he comes from, including Ustad Imdad Khan, Ustad Wahid Khan, Ustad Vilayat Khan and more.
He will be accompanied by Rohit Majumdar on Tabla, and will be performing from 6-9 at the Student Center Theater (350 Ferst Drive, Atlanta GA 30332). For tickets and further details pls contact Dr. Santosh Pande at 770-447-5517 / Mr. Bob Ghosh at 404-431-0091 / Dr. Sham Navathe at 770-416-8901. I would NOT miss this concert organized by the ICMS (Indian Classical Music Society).
We also had in the studio with us Ketaki Deo, a masters student at Georgia Tech studying Computer Science. She has been classically trained in Hindustani vocals and was here to share with us her introduction to Indian Classical music, her training with her Guru back in Pune, India, and the cultural hub that is Pune. Ketaki, we will hopefully see you perform soon at Tech. We also used this opportunity to play our first Rahul Deshpande performance (since Ketaki asked for it), someone whose music I've been wanting to play for a while but haven't gotten down to.
Here's what played tonight:
1. Ustad Shahid Parvez (sitar) - Raag Desh (live)
2. Rahul Deshpande - Albela Saajan (live)
3. Ustad Shahid Parvez (sitar) - Dhun (live)
