Adding further depth and harmony to the performance, Ashique Kumar will showcase his mastery of the Harmonium.
Padmbhushan Pandit Gokulotsavji Maharaj, the founder of Sangeet Kala Samman Samiti society and the senior-most Indian classical virtuoso, told Patriot that the Samiti has been actively promoting and preserving Hindustani classical music among the masses for more than 20 years.
“Indian classical music is an integral part of our vast and rich cultural heritage,” he said.
