Tabla Wizard Pandit Chatur Lal Memorial Society presents Jagruti - an interactive series with internationally renowned Violinist Sunita Bhuyan. Join in with this master class cum mini concert.

In the session she will share and take you through a unique exposition of the universal seven notes and breaks a few myths around music and the violin as an instrument itself. "Folklore" is a workshop on breaking the barriers between the classics and tradition. Folk is traditional and the classics are written down! However are the two really different? Come experience this journey of Assamese folk to the Celtic trail of Scottish & Irish music and see how they meet, merge and make music together.

One would assume that such an exposition would have many indigenous instruments accompanying Sunita, but the unusual times of the lockdown is still on. So what does the artist to? Well that which she is known for - An experiment within one. Sunita's son a western classical pianist joins her and the mother & son together prove that the seven notes are universal, music is universal, it's the styles & thought that make them different. This will be followed with a mini concert.

An initiative by Pandit Chatur Lal Festival celebrating its 30 glorious years in promotion of Indian culture. Its curated & conceptualized by Shruti & Pranshu Chatur Lal dedicated to Tabla Wizard Pandit Chatur Lal.
