The City of Joy is soon going to be filled with joy as the annual event of classical music celebration returns to Kolkata. The city which witnesses a number of fests, by corporates or government in the winter season, will have a special event for Indian classical music buffs.

Swara Samrat Festival –

The Jugalbandi 

The Festival will showcase the best of Indian Classical Music and has some really big names lined up for the discerning Kolkata audience who love their music online and offline.

Ustad Zakir Hussain, the world renowned tabla maestro, has given his blessings to the organisation’s aims and objectives with his active participation every year. Last year his Jugalbandi with Santoor King, Shib Kumar amazed the audience.

Season 6, this year, will witness the Ustad opposite to the well known flautist Rakesh Chaurasia (nephew-disciple of Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia belonging to Maihar clan).


Other Attractions – 

The main attractions would be Tansen Awardee, Pandit Ulhas Kashalkar and Kaushiki Chakraborty, the iconic star-vocalist of her generation.
Sitar-wizard Purbayan Chatterjee and mandolin duo U Rajesh (Carnatic) and Snehasish Mozumder (Hindustani) also plan to churn up both the streams to create a well-blended Indian music.
