A live concert presented by Smt. Ruchira Panda with Pt. Arup Chattopadhyay on tabla and Shri Anirban Chakraborty on harmonium. It was held in Kolkata Uttam Manch on February 15, 2020 to commemorate the birth centenary celebration of Late Pt. A. Kanan, organized by Suromurchhana. The concert will be preceded by an interview with Smt. Ruchira Panda and Shri. Sanjoy Banerjee, founder of Suromurchhana.
Smt. Ruchira Panda is the current torch-bearer of the Kotali Gharana, a lineage of classical vocal masters originally hailing from Kotalipara in pre-partition Bengal. She was mentored by her guru, Pandit Manas Chakraborty.
Pt. Arup Chattopadhyay is recognized as one of the most outstanding and sought after Tabla artists of this generation. He has established himself as a top-notch accompanist as well as a formidable soloist. His performances are admired for their exceptional tonal quality, clarity and deep compositional repertoire, all presented with an innate sense of rhythm and melody.
Shri. Anirban Chakrabarty, although a good vocalist, his keen interest in playing Harmonium have driven him under the tutelage of Pandit Manas Chakraborty, the doyen of Kotali Gharana to master himself in the gayaki of Kotali style.

With his magical strokes over strings, He makes his unique melody speak. Like embroidering the silk with stitches, Sandip’s music has also thickly embroidered innumerable ears by reaching out to a greater world.
Subhajyoti Guha (Tabla)
Shri Subhajyoti Guha, a highly talented tabla player, and is one of the NEW GENRE of tabla exponents who are taking this world of North Indian percussion instrument to greater heights in the 21st century.

Sankha Chatterjee, a disciple of late Ustad Keramatullah Khan and late Ustad Allarakha Khan of Punjab Gharana, took Subhajyoti under his tutorship. Through his performances Subhajyoti has won the hearts of his listeners and his talent has also been acknowledged by maestros.
