3-day Hindustani music fest at Fort Jadhavgarh

The private Hindustani classical music baithak will go public where 80 patrons will get an opportunity to experience the magic from the closest quarters.
The Pandit Firoz Dastur Memorial Foundation has organised Sannidhya, a three-day, two-night residential music festival at
Fort Jadhavgarh Hotel, near Saswad, 35 km from Pune between December 25 and 27.
Pandit Ulhas Kashalkar will be the maestro-in-residence and will be accompanied by tabla player Pandit Suresh Talwalkar and harmonium player Pandit Purshottam Walawalkar. Kashalkar’s disciples Ram Deshpande and Madhuri Kulkarni will be the other artistes performing at the festival.
The foundation’s trustee said it would help music-lovers build an association with the artiste. “In most Hindustani music concerts, your association with the performer is restricted to a few hours. At this residential festival, the artistes and the audience will live in close proximity. Besides the music, the audience can interact with the masters informally,” Pai said.
“Some of us have attended private baithaks of the finest musicians. The baithak concept allows us to get close to the artiste. The residential festival will introduce audiences to this unique concept,” said Pai.
On the first evening of the festival, Pandit Kashalkar will pay tribute to his gurus by singing some special ragas he learnt from them. The next day, he will give a lecture-demonstration on the type of music that has inspired him.

A unique three-day festival – The Kabir Festival

We all have grown up listening to his two-line dohas like Bura Jo Dekhan Mein Chala or Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar and now exploring the very same works and life of the famous poet Sant Kabir Das is the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology that has come up with a unique three-day festival – The Kabir Festival.

The festival will see the screening of films based on his life and a music concert wherein Kabir’s verses will be presented. Shabnam Virmani, who took five years to complete them, has directed the films. Talking about her inspirations to make these films she says, “The immediate trigger was being a mute witness to the Godhra riots in 2002, and the religious violence that followed. I think, however, the search was also deeply personal. Kabir shows us a way to understand why there is so much divisiveness and fragmentation around us, as well as within us, and how the two are connected.”

Virmani doubts if the society was ever in deep touch with figures like Kabir. According to her history seems to be a pretty uneven record of human folly, divisiveness and violence, so Kabir is as much a voice of dissent, clarity and sanity today as he perhaps was in the 15th century. “Somehow, our society and culture doesn’t offer us those spaces, contexts and rituals to connect with this kind of spiritual understanding. Where we do find a kernel of this spiritual understanding when it’s so heavily overlaid with religious orthodoxy and some kind of sectarian, divisive impulse,” she adds.

Though all four documentary films have a common subject – Kabir – each one deals with different aspect of his life. For instance, Chalo Hamara Des: Journeys with Kabir and Friends explores the search for Kabir’s country through the narratives of two people from two countries, Had-Anhad: Journeys with Ram and Kabir looks into the heart of divisive Hindu-Muslim politics of religion and nationalism. Koi Sunta Hai: Journeys with Kumar and Kabir on the other hand speaks about the relation between folk and classical music, and the film Kabira Khada Bazar Mein Journeys with Sacred and Secular Kabir delves into the ironies and tensions between the secular and sacred side of Kabir.

Virmani states that the research for these films though started with books and the internet, but quickly grew into journeys into villages and across cities, and direct meetings with singers, lay persons, scholars, folklorists and activists inspired by ideas of Kabir.

The films screening will culminate in a unique musical concert that will feature the likes of Mukhtiar Ali, Mahesha Ram and Pt Vijay Sardeshmukh. The three-day begins on November 14 and will end on November 16. Besides the films, the festival will also showcase audio music CD’s and poetry on the life and works of Kabir.

सवाई गंधर्व महोत्सव सात ते दहा जानेवारीला

आर्य संगीत प्रसारक मंडळातर्फे पुढील वर्षी सात ते दहा जानेवारी या कालावधीत सवाई गंधर्व संगीत महोत्सव आयोजित करण्यात आला आहे. दर वर्षी डिसेंबर महिन्यात होणारा हा महोत्सव "स्वाइन फ्लू'च्या साथीमुळे पुढे ढकलण्याचा निर्णय यापूर्वी घेण्यात आला होता.

गेल्या काही महिन्यांत शहरात सुरू असलेल्या स्वाइन फ्लूच्या साथीमुळे सार्वजनिक व्यवहारांवर बंधने आली होती. ज्या काळात महोत्सवाच्या आयोजनाची तयारी सुरू होत असते नेमक्‍या त्याच कालखंडात या साथीचा संसर्ग वाढला होता. त्यामुळे मंडळाच्या विश्‍वस्तांनी महापालिका आयुक्त महेश झगडे आणि पोलिस आयुक्त डॉ. सत्यपालसिंह यांच्याशी चर्चा केली. डिसेंबरमध्ये थंडीचे प्रमाण वाढते आणि त्याच काळात स्वाइन फ्लूच्या विषाणूंचा संसर्ग होण्याची शक्‍यता असल्याचा अंदाज वैद्यकीय क्षेत्रातील तज्ज्ञांना व्यक्त केला होता. त्यामुळे दर वर्षी डिसेंबरमध्ये दुसऱ्या आठवड्यात गुरुवार ते रविवार असे चार दिवस पाच सत्रांत होणारा महोत्सव स्थगित करण्याचा निर्णय घेतला होता.

आंतरराष्ट्रीय कीर्ती प्राप्त केलेल्या या महोत्सवासाठी देशभरातून; त्याचप्रमाणे परदेशांतूनही रसिक मोठ्या संख्येने उपस्थित राहतात. त्यामुळे दर वर्षी डिसेंबर महिन्याच्या दुसऱ्या आठवड्यात होणारा हा महोत्सव शक्‍य तेवढ्या लवकर नेहमीच्या पद्धतीने साजरा करण्याच्या दृष्टीने पावले उचलली. आता जानेवारीमध्ये दुसऱ्या आठवड्यातील गुरुवार ते रविवार या कालावधीत तो घेण्याचे निश्‍चित केले आहे, असे मंडळाचे कार्याध्यक्ष श्रीनिवास जोशी आणि कार्यकारी सचिव पं. श्रीकांत देशपांडे यांनी सोमवारी प्रसिद्धिपत्रकाद्वारे कळविले आहे.

Sawai Gandharva postponed

[From Express India]

The Sawai Gandharva Music Festival, that was to be held in the city in December, has been postponed in the wake of scare of revival of swine flu epidemic in the city. In the 57 years’ history of the much acclaimed festival, this is the fifth time that it has to be postponed due to unavoidable circumstances, though it has never been cancelled.
The festival is generally held in the first weekend of December, but its preparation starts almost six months earlier, as around 35 artistes from across the country come to the city showcase their art.

“The swine flu epidemic was at its peak when the preparations were on for the festival. The organisers had a discussion with district collector Chandrakant Dalvi and PMC commissioner Mahesh Zagade about the situation in the city and the possibility of revival of the epidemic. Finally, the organisers decided not to take the risk as many people gather during the festival,” said the press note issued by Shrinivas Joshi and Shreekant Deshpande of Arya Sangeet Prasarak Mandal that organises the festival.

The press note also said the organisers would convey the new schedule of the festival through the media.
