Remembering Pandit Deepak Chaudhury – A Tribute Concert

About

Boithoki Shruti proudly presents a sublime evening of classical music dedicated to honouring the birth anniversary, life, and legacy of the late sitar virtuoso, Pandit Deepak Chaudhury. As one of the very few dedicated classical events of this calibre organised in the industry, this tribute concert represents a true milestone for classical music enthusiasts in Dhaka. Pandit Deepak Chaudhury was one of the most notable and senior disciples of the legendary sitar maestro Bharat Ratna Pandit Ravi Shankar. Carrying forward the pure, traditional, and meditative musicality of the historic Senia Maihar Gharana, his masterful technique frequently drew comparisons to his guru. Beyond his solo stage mastery, his artistic genius extended to fusion music and the world of parallel cinema, where he collaborated closely with legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray as the featured Sitar Player for the iconic cinematic masterpiece Gopi Gyne Bagha Byne. Join us as we celebrate the life and musical journey of this extraordinary maestro through an evening of soulful ragas, featuring deep aesthetic insights and pristine pedagogies passed down directly to his lineage.
