Indisk koncert med Apratim Majumdar og Amit Chatterjee
Oplev den indiske sarodspiller Apratim Majumdar og tablaspilleren Amit Chatterjee i et møde mellem melodi, rytme og klassisk indisk musiktradition.
Apratim Majumdar begyndte sin musikalske uddannelse som barn i Kolkata og har gennem mere end 29 år fordybet sig i sarod og Senia Maihar Gharana-traditionen. Hans meditative og improviserede spil forener stor teknisk virtuositet med en levende udfoldelse af ragaens stemninger.
Amit Chatterjee er uddannet af sin onkel, den internationalt anerkendte tabla-maestro Pandit Sankha Chatterjee. Han mestrer både Farukhabad- og Punjab-traditionen og bevæger sig hjemmevant mellem klassisk indisk musik og mere eksperimenterende musikalske udtryk.
Apratim Majumdar was born and raised in Kolkata. He was initiated to vocal music at the age of five under the guidance of his mother. At the age of nine he preferred to switch over to instrumental music – Sarod, a 25 string fretless ethnic Indian musical instrument of Senia Maihar Gharana.
For next two decades he was tutored and groomed by Prof. Rabin Ghosh, disciple of Ustad Alauddin Khan.During this period he also received training for about two years from Shri Partho Sarothy disciple of Ustad Dhyanesh Khan and Bharatratna Pt. Ravi Shankar.
Apratim’s entire training in music for over 29 years is in Guru-sishya-parampara style in the lineage of Senia Maihar Gharana. His studies in music is still continuing uninterruptedly. Presently he is under guidance of Dr. Pradip Kumar Chakraborty, one of the senior most disciples of Bharatratna Pt. Ravi Shankar.
He is “Sangeet Bhaskar” (Master in Music) from Pracheen Kalakendra, Chandigarh.
“Sur Mani” title was conferred upon him by Sur Singar Akademi (Mumbai).
Apratim is an empanelled artist of Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre (EZCC) and Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR).
On November 1, 2015 the New York State Assembly honoured Apratim with “New York State Assembly Award”.
On February 5th, 2016 the Salt Lake Cultural Association (Kolkata) cofered JADU BHATTA AWARD upon him.
In the process of his prolonged dedicated training for over 29 years in traditional Dhrupadee Veenkar Style of Senia Maihar Gharana he has developed a distinguished playing style of his own.
Deeply steeped into tradition Apratim’s renditions are totally self improvised and meditative in nature. His captivating virtuosity, sparkling imagination interwoven with prosodic progression, aesthetically unfolds true color of the raga. His metrical waves of sensitive melodic phrases and his intensity in performance create the “ambience of charm and beauty in a short span of time”.
Amit Chatterjee, the star tabla player, has been making waves in each of his many personas. Amit regularly performs with some of the greatest names in Indian Classical Music. With an unique blend of both Farukhabad and Punjab’s rich musical flavor in his music, he got these rare opportunities to receive blessings of great stalwarts and maestros of the likes of Late Ustad Allarakha Khan, Late Ustad Vilayat Khan, Pandit Chinmoy Lahiri, Late Ustad Munawar Ali Khan, Late Pandit V.G.Jog, Late Pandit Kishen Maharaj, and living legends such as Ustad Zakir Hussain and Ustad Ashish Khan. Equally brilliant within traditional as well as experimental genres, Amit has carved out an unique niche for himself in his diverse avatars as classical musician.
The famous internationally reputed Tabla Maestro, Pandit Sankha Chatterjee being the Uncle and Guru of Amit; found extraordinary talent and tremendous eagerness in little Amit to touch and play the tabla. He adopted Amit as his son and started imparting rigorous training from the tender age of five in typical Indian Style of Guru Shishya Parampara. Amit is one of those rare tabla players who have been fortunate enough to acquire the intricacies and subtleties of both Farukhabad and Punjab Gharana. Rich musical heritage of his family provided Amit with the rare opportunity to come in close contact with and receive blessings from great stalwarts of Indian Music like Late Ustad Allarakha Khan, Late Ustad Vilayat Khan, Pandit Chinmoy Lahiri, Late Ustad Munawar Ali Khan, Late Pandit V.G.Jog, Late Pandit Kishen Maharaj, and also living legends such as Ustad Zakir Hussain and Ustad Ashish Khan.
