THE MUSIC ROOM!
HarmoNYom, in association with Anamika-avatman, Presents its first concert as part of The Music Room Project 2012,
An incredible and unique Hindustani Vocal and Sitar Jugalbandi Concert!
Vocalist Debapriya Adhikary and Sitarist Samanwaya Sarkar.
Accompanied on tabla by Nitin Mitta.
Duet of Vocal and Sitar where Debapriya Adhikary's enchanting ,sonorous voice moving three octaves with ease merges with Samanwaya Sarkar's mesmerizing, sparkling and honey dripped strokes on Sitar creates one music that makes their audience feel as if these young artistes have one soul and one mind creating the sound from only one genre that finally casts a lasting spell not only in their ears but to their souls. They both are Gandabandh disciples of Padmabhushan Smt. Girija Devi ji. They are accomplished in presenting pure form of Indian Classical music and also the other unique feathers like tappa, tap khyal, thumri, dadra chaiti, holi kajri etc .
They have been getting worldwide applause since the age of 18 for their solos and duet. Last year August they were invited by the National Theatre of Opera and Ballet where they commemorated the birth centenary of Mother Teresa, where they were the first and ever and only Indian Classical musicians and they performed in the midst of whole Western Symphony. Recently they have also made film music for an Australian film The Sleeping Warrior about to be released in 2012.
Last year in 2011, they performed this Jugalbandiat Sawai Gandharva Sangeet being invited by Bharatratna Pt. Bhimsen Joshiji, Pt. Mallikarjun Music Festival (DHWANI) by Bangalore Kidney Foundation and Gangamahotsav in Varanasi by Ministry of UP along with many other concerts.
They have performed in several international music festivals and other concerts in UK, Spain, France, Denmark, Germany Portugal, US, Australia, Canada to name a few.
