Baithak Concert Santoor
by Young &
Talented Rahul Sharma,
Rahul Sharma is truly making his presence felt in the world of Music. At the age of 29 he has established himself as a classical Musician with more than 12 releases (CD's) and has his hands full with many other projects. Talented and exceptionally creative, Rahul is the son and the youngest disciple of the legendary Santoor maestro Pt. Shivkumar Sharma. Rahul
started learning the Santoor when he was twelve years old, and gave
his first performance at the age of 24. In less than a two-year span
he became one of the most sought after young musicians, not only in
India, but also across the globe. Rahul has absorbed the ever-enriching
depths of Indian classical music, inner calm and a mature detachment
from his illustrious father. Under his touch, the ragas unfold in
all their rich complexities and soulful stirrings. Rahul is all set
to take the santoor to greater heights in the twenty-first century
by adding new dimensions to it with his creativity. He is a maestro
in the making. March

Sitar
by Joya Biswas
A pioneer in her field, which is dominated by male sitarist of senior age, Joya soon carved a niche for herself in the music world by her virtuosity as a sitarist of rare talent. During her numerous concert tours abroad since 1959, the most remarkable was her triumphant tour in Russia, Poland, East Germany in 1968, sponsored by Govt of India, in 1980 tour of W. Germany, France and UX, followed by Festival of India Programme in Russia during 1988. In this tour Joya was invited by the French TV to telecast sitar recital on 21 st June'88, the International Music Day. BBC invited her to perform in the coveted "THIRD PROGRAMME"in 1965, followed by a broadcast from BBC. during 1980 and finally in 1996 B.B.C Ch annel 4, interviewed her as India's First Lady of Sitar. Her memorable performance in 1996 in Nehru Centre of London in a packed Hall and an exclusive recital in Washington in the presence of Indian Ambassador S.S Roy and few senate members are worth mentioning. Her recent tour in Sri Lanka, sponsored by Govt of India to inaugurate a Cultural Centre in the golden Jubilee Year of Indian freedom, has brought fresh laurel for her from press and public of Sri Lanka. Joya, a graduate in History and Economics, with a diploma in Journalism, is attached to Radio, Television, different Universities and high power cultural committees of both Govt. of India and West Bengal as member and advisor. She has given lecture recital and conducted workshop in various Universities of India and abroad. She has been honoured by Calcutta High court being selected as a Judge of Peoples court.
