Stalwarts of Indian classical music and dance like Birju Maharaj, Rashid Khan, and Kavita Krishnamurti will pay tributes to legendary Indian classical music composers at an upcoming music festival here.
The eighth edition of 'Bandish- A Tribute to Legendary Composers' will honour the works of music composers like Inayat Hussain Khan, Meerabai, and Gajananrao Joshi among others.
Scheduled to begin from July 7, the three-day festival organised by The National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA), will be held at Tata Theatre here.
"Great compositions deserve great artistes who very gracefully capture nuances of the original composition and at the same time leave their indelible mark on it.
"The festival will bring together artistes from different fields to pay homage to the legendary composers with their awe-inspiring talent," Suvarnalata Rao of NCPA said.
To be held in association with HSBC Bank, the music festival will open with Padma Talwarkar presenting compositions of Jagannathbuwa Purohit and her mentor, Gajananrao Joshi, while Khan will pay tribute to composers Inayat Hussain Khan and his own mentor Nissar Hussain Khan.
The second day of the festival will witness Birju Maharaj presenting his own compositions, and Shekhar Sen will present works on Krishna by Meerabai, Chadrasakhi and Taj Bibi.
On July 9, the festival will conclude with a selection of raga-based film songs composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, R D Burman and Ismail Darbar, presented by Kavita Krishnamurti.
"It is indeed a matter of great pride for us to be associated with Bandish, the festival which celebrates the best of Indian music.
"To preserve this legacy for the future, HSBC has supported NCPA's project to train disciples by masters of different Gharanas, where selected masters mentor students in the traditional style, providing them with unparalleled learning and the opportunity to showcase their talent," Stuart P Milne, CEO and group general manager of HSBC India, said.
