Description:
Kala presents An Evening of Indian Classical Music on Friday, October 5, 2018 in Colonial Hall located within the Squires Student Center on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Join us for a night filled with the sounds of the Sitar and Tabla!

Professional musicians Mr. Anjan Saha (Sitar) and Mr. Amit Chatterjee (Tabla) will be visiting from India to deliver a classical instrumental performance. At the end of the performance, they will also take questions from the audience about their art and their instrument.

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.

Kala is a student organization at Virginia Tech focused on the awareness and appreciation of Indian Classical Music. Kala, pronounced Kal?, a Sanskrit word meaning performing arts. We are the Virginia Tech chapter of the SpicMacay worldwide organization, a cultural organization that facilitates the global exposure of Indian artists around the world.

We will be organizing various events to introduce the theory of Indian classical music (the Hindustani and Carnatic forms) and dance (Bharatnatyam, Kathak, and many others) with the primary focus of contrasting them with Western classical music and theory. We welcome you to the vibrant world of S?nskrtik Kala, the classical arts from India!
