BRIHADDHWANI – A DIFFERENT MUSICAL EXPERIENCE

Today we are living in an era of talent spotting, talent showcasing and talent promotion.  Children specially are being exposed to the wide ranging proliferation of the media and they are responding successfully to these challenges.  Reality shows on the television have brought in new and unexplored opportunities in this field.  Children are also updated on the Social Media Platforms though parental intervention and guided interaction is necessary. 
 During the course of talent spotting some children in the age group of 12-15 were discovered in Delhi who are conversant with the classical systems of  Indian music, fusion as well as Sufi music.  These children have formed a Band which is going to present in its inaugural show at 6.00 p.m. on 28th November, 2014 (Friday) at the Amaltas Auditorium, Indian Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi.

The Band will feature Anagha, lead singer, on carnatic and Hindustani classical music.  Akshyaa, lead singer and keyboard player, will present the famous Amir Khusaro song “Chhap Tilak Sab Chheeni” and “Kali The Mother” – a poem originally penned by Swami Vivekananda and composed into song by Gana Kala Vibhushana Sangeetha Ratna Smt. Bhanumathy Vishwanath and Lalitaa Venaa Shiromani L.Ramashesh Vishwanath.  The Music has been arranged by eminent Music Director Shri Naresh Vikal.
The rhythm will be led by Aditya, the Mridangist of the Band and supported by Amrutaa, drummer of the Band.


Master Ooruj Hassan, 11 year old student of Ustad Akhtar Hassan will play on the Tabla.  Shri N.Harinarayanan will accompany on the Ghatam.  Shri Sachidanand will provide support on the violin.  Pandit Sitangshu Chowdhary, a renowned vocalist of the Rampur Sehaswan Gharana will encourage the young members of the Band by providing support on the Harmonium.
