The Sarode and Tabla concert was a huge success!!
Thank you all for attending the First Indian Classical music concert brought by ktru!!
KTRU’s very first Concert of Indian Classical music – drew a huge crowd on a Tuesday evening. Shankar Bhattacharyya’s sarode and Sri Gourisankar’s tabla mesmerized the audience. The selection of ragas was explained to the curious spectators by Shankar Bhattacharyya. The sawaal-jawab; dialogue between the instruments was fascinating!
Dr. Bhattacharyya recalled his time at his graduate school – Rice University. He fondly shared his very first day at Rice. ” I looked at Sammy’s and it reminded me of my very first day here at Rice. I was standing in line for food and a friend pointed out to me that the person ahead of us in line was the President of Rice, President and students all ate at the same place” he said.
The talented students gave a memorable performance that many of us present at the show will remember for a long time.
Pandit Shantilal Shah’s four disciples gave irresistible delight for Indian tabla thus making the audience long for more at the 18th Annual ktru Outdoor Show.
