MERU Seelisberg, Switzerland – 28 March 2015, 20 hrs

Maharishi Gandharva Veda Concert with Amitava Majumdar, Sarod, and Indranil Mallik, Tabla

28 March 2015, starting at 20 hrs, MERU, Seelisberg, URI, Switzerland.

Amitava Majumdar,one of the leading Sarodia’s of this generation, has gained recognition both at home and abroad for his virtuosic performances on Sarode. His playing is marked by faithfulness to classical form of ragas (derived from long and intense study of Hindustani Classical Music) embellished by improvisational dexterity that stimulates both the mind and the heart of the audience. His rigorous training in Sarode from early childhood has instilled in him keen understanding and ability to form original insights into the universe of ragas. Amitava, being attracted and inspired by the magical effect of music of great Sarode Maestro, Late Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, started learning Sarode from Late Ustad Dhyanesh Khan, son of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and grandson of Acharya Baba Allauddin Khan. Ustad Dhyanesh Khan, the distinguished maestro gave him training for many years and gradually became his mentor.

And his wife Vocalist Shirin Sengupta also got “A” Grade from the same Ministry.

Ranajit will be for a short time in Germany between 6th to 11th June 2013 on his  way to London as he will perform at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London on the 13th June. He will be later in Europe with Shirin from Mid July to 6th August and again from 15th to 31st October. They  both have long term Visa for European Countries.

Please, if you are interested to organize one or more concerts for them, please contact me at gandharva@ayurveda.nl

Gandharva concerts enliven the atmosphere and bring harmony and integration not only to the audience, but to the whole environment. Gandharva music is one of the ancient Vedic technologies of consciousness to strengthen the indivivual as well as society as a whole from a very profound level. Fortunately for the world, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has revived this wonderful technique to harmonize disharmonies, and to unify differences.
