CONCERT: Dr. Arawind Thatte ( Harmonium solo )

TAPASYAA - celebrating International Women’s Day
We frequently come across events felicitating musicians for their success and contribution in the field of Hindustani music. But seldom do we find an event that specially focuses and recognizes the role of the woman behind this success and contribution. It is in this context that last year, on March 8th 2009, Baithak music foundation and Janmada Pratisthan, Pune felicitated Smt. Asha Chandrakant Kamat, Smt. Indira Chintamani Vyas and Dr. Saroj Maheshgauri (Superintendent, Cama Hospital). This felicitation is representative of all those women who have always stood behind their family, unrecognized. Tapasyaa is a humble attempt on our part to express gratitude to every such woman.
This year we have decided to express our gratitude towards Smt. Vatsala Digambar Thatte. She will be felicitated by renowned theatre artist Pandit Prabhakar Panshikar. Here, we also take an opportunity to recognize the Tapasyaa of Dr. Arawind Thatte who is the son of Smt.Vatsala Thatte and also a very renowned and respected harmonium artist.
