Benefit for Santoor Ashram

Tarun Bhattacharya is one of India’s most exciting performers. His mastery of complex rhythms and playful “dialogues” make his concerts a true delight. Tarun was chosen by Ravi Shankar to perform on his “Chants of India” album produced by George Harrison. The concert will feature a Sitar prelude by Diana Waldron, a student of Roop Verma. It will end with a Sitar postlude featuring Shraman Sen with Ucchal Banerjee, tabla. Shraman is a student of Ustad Irshad Khan and studied with Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan as well. The concert is a benefit for Santoor Ashram, Kolkata, a project to bring music to disadvantaged youth.
