Second edition of 'Aarohi' to celebrate a heritage gharana

Known for curating provoking and groundbreaking gharana festivals, Kaladharmi on the occasion of their golden jubilee ceremony will be organising the second edition of 'Aarohi' series which celebrates a heritage gharana from November 18-20 at Meghdoot Auditorium and India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.

Bringing alive versatile and talented artists across the Country, this series aspires to carry forward the legacy of classical music and aims to make a mark in the world of Indian Music. The festival will feature the torch-bearers of various gharanas across the Country in a very special way.

The very first day of the festival will start with the seminar of world-renowned artist Pandit Pannalal Ghosh of Borishal Ghosh Gharana which will be followed by the flute recital of eminent artist Sudip Chattopadhay at the Meghdoot Auditorium.

The second day of the festival will start with the celebration of Borishal Ghosh Gharana with a short film on Pandit Pannalal Ghosh. Ghosh has invented the long flute and propagated its use for the first time in the Indian subcontinent thus creating a distinctly different flavour of the flute and giving it a status of classical music. The second performance of the day will be a flute recital by Pandit Rupak Kulkarni and the day will end with paying homage to Rampur- Sahaswan Gharana with a vocal recital by Ghulam Niyaz Hussain Khan.

Marking the end of the celebrations, the final day of the series will start with the celebration of Rajshahi- Shahjahanpur Gharana with the presentation of sarod recital by Narendra Nath Dhar which will be followed by paying homage to Patiala Gharana with a vocal recital by Pandit Shantanu Bhattarcharya. The second and third day will be organised at the India Habitat Centre.
