Quotes
Pt Umesh Chaudhary
Renowned classical vocalist who performed Raag Puriya Dhanashree, a tarana and a Marathi abhang.
“Classical music is not merely a practice of musical notes; it is an emotional journey that connects us with our culture, spirituality and devotional traditions. I am particularly happy that while presenting raagdari music along with an abhang, I was able to convey this devotional spirit to the audience. I sincerely hope initiatives such as ‘Mehfil-e-Anurag’ continue to take the rich tradition of Indian classical music to the younger generation.”
