About the Event

Sukanya and Tejas invite you to their homes for an intimate baithak and dinner. In an effort to bring classical music closer to people, and to encourage artists in their imaginative pursuits; we are opening up our living room for monthly classical concerts.


Join us as we explore the intricacies of classical music together, and sometimes simply lose ourselves to the flow of the music. Our living room is cosy, and has just enough space for everyone to be able to enjoy the music and compare notes with each other from time to time. Feel free to ask questions and express your pleasure as the artist takes you on his journey.


Our artist of the month, Shri Smarajit Sen is an eminent sitarist on the rise. Shri Sen took his initial sitar lessons from Prof. Sukumar Chanda and honed his skills under the tutelage of late Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta. A postdoctoral fellow of the prestigious ITC-SRA, he has received many accolades for his firm grasp over his art and penchant for experimentation. On tabla, he will be accompanied by Shri Pradeep Chatterjee. Shri Chatterjee began his music education at the age of seven under his father late Pandit Amalesh Chatterjee, renowned percussionist of Farukhabad Gharana, and later under guidance of his father's senior-most disciple Pandit Samir Chatterjee. A familiar face at our concerts (many would recognise him and his extraordinary performance from our first baithak), he continues to spur us on with his constant support.

FAQs
Do I have to know Indian classical music to attend the program?
Absolutely not! Anybody who appreciates music and is willing to listen, is welcome to the concert. Our aim is to make the genre more accessible to everyone and share our love for it. During the course of the concert we will be happy to help you understand and appreciate the performance.
What is the format of the program?
Keeping in mind the homely atmosphere, we invite only one artist per program. This way, the performer of the day has complete freedom to choose her pieces and improvise. The program will start with short introduction to the artist and the genre. This will be followed by an hour long performance and dinner.
How long will the performance last?
Indian classical music is largely performed extempore, based only on a loose structure that helps the artist lay out her path. You can expect the performance to last about an hour, give or take a few minutes as inspiration permits.
What kind of food would be served for dinner?
We would love to share a little piece of our home with you. All food served at the event will be cooked by us from scratch, so expect a hearty home made meal. In order to accommodate everyone and their tastes, we will only be serving vegetarian food - typically two mains and a side dish.
