Staff Correspondent
Bengal Foundation and ITC-Sangeet Research Academy (SRA) have organised bi-monthly programmes of "Mayar Madhuri” to promote classical music in Bangladesh. Now a two- day classical music recital with the same title will begin today at District Shilpakala Academy, Mymensingh at 7pm.
Eminent ITC-SRA guru Pandit Arun Bhaduri will perform at the soiree. Pandit Bhaduri will also perform on the second day of the programme at the main auditorium of Bangladesh National Museum on July 15.
A press conference was held yesterday at Bengal Shilpalaya, Dhanmondi in the capital. Pandit Bhaduri, director general of Bengal Foundation Luva Nahid Chowdhury and senior executive of ITC-SRA Sabyasachi Roy Chowdhury spoke at the press conference. Luva Nahid Chowdhury elaborated on the initiatives of Bengal Foundation and ITC SRA.
At the inaugural day (July 13), Additional Deputy Commissioner of Mymensingh, Kazi Ashraf Uddin will deliver a speech while Pandit Pabitra Mohan Dey will hand over a crest to the
eminent artiste. Noted cultural personality Kamal Lohani will hand over "Bengal Foundation Sammanona Padak" to Pandit Bhaduri on the second day (July 15) of the event.
Pandit Bhaduri will perform classical vocal music at two venues. Sandip Roy Chowdhury on tabla and Pt. Jyoti Guho on harmonium will accompany the maestro. Apart from this, Sabina Mamtaj Islam will present vocal music while Ratan Bharati will present classical music on guitar at two venues. Noted Bangladeshi flautist Gazi Abdul Hakim will give a performance on his flute on the second day of the programme.
In a bid to popularise the legacy and heritage of classical music, Bengal Foundation joined hands with ITC SRA in organising a series of classical music recitals in and outside Dhaka. To arrange classical music workshops, offer scholarships, set up a Parampara Shastriya Sangeet Bidyalaya and to hold an annual classical music conference, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Bengal Foundation and ITC-SRA at a press conference in the presence of Pandit Ajay Chakrabarty on April 28 this year.

Pandit Bhaduri ranks among a brilliant set of musicians who has taken the legacy of Hindustani classical music to great heights. Gifted with a deep, sonorous voice with a brilliant range, he portrays very soulful and moving pictures of Ragas.
Born in Murshidabad, West Bengal, he has had the privilege of being tutored by no less a master than Md. Abu Daud. Fie further acquired embellishments in his music by learning from Md. Sagiruddin Khan. His talent
brought him to Sangeet Research Academy in 1978, where he won a scholarship and had the opportunity of training under late Ustad Istiaq Hussain Khan of Rampur gharana. It was only the genius of Pandit Bhaduri that enabled him to blend all these styles beautifully and create a style of his own which is unique. He received further encouragement from Padmabhushan Pandit Gnan Prakash Ghosh.
