Centenary of GEETANJALI

Musical soiree at Central Public Library

Zahangir Alom
Both accomplished and promising artistes of Bangladesh Rabindra Sangeet Shilpi Sangstha (BRSSS) rendered songs from “Geetanjali" (Tagore's Nobel Prize winning literary work) at a musical soiree held on January 7, at Shawkat Osman Memorial Auditorium, Central Public Library, Shahbagh in Dhaka. BRSSS organised the event marking the Bard's 150th birth anniversary and 100 years of the launch of Geetanjali's English translation.
Sajed Akbar, general secretary of BRSSS, delivered the welcome speech while presi-
dent of the organisation, Tapan Mahmud, said, "This year BRSSS is also celebrating its 24 years. We have planned a range of cultural programmes in the days ahead. Most of today's featured artistes are very talented and we hope they will ably lead the organisation in the days to come."
The day's programme commenced with a rendition of a baitalik number "Megher Porey Megh Jomechhey”. Sathi Sarkar beautifully rendered the song. This was followed by Jayanto Acharya’s performance, “JethayeThake Shobar Odhom”.
Adrita Anwar's moving rendition of the number “Aaji Jhorer Raat-e" seemingly won the hearts of the Tagore enthusiasts,
while Indrani Karmakar immaculately breathed the words "Jibon Jokhon Shukaye Jaye”. Subah Akbar was expressive in rendering the song "Kobey Ami Bahir Holem”.
Satya Chakrobarty soulfolly sang “Amar Matha Noto Korey Dao”. The rendition was marked by the artiste’s focus on diction and notes. His mature voice did justice to the number.
Shithi Saha was superb in performing the song "Protidin Ami”. The artiste was engrossed in the melody of the song. She showcased her musical prowess while presenting the number.
