CONCERT: Smt. Padma Talwalkar

पुणे भारत गायन समाज प्रस्तुत
सौ. पद्मा तळवलकर यांची मैफल
स्थळ: एस. एम. जोशी सभागृह, नवी पेठ
गुरुवार १२ ऑगस्ट सायंकाळी ६

तबला: मयंक बेडेकर
संवादिनी: सुयोग कुंडलकर

About the artist:
Padma Talwalkar belongs to that avant garde in the Khayal scene today, who believe in evolving a personalised musical idiom by assimilating the best of diverse styles. While displaying a judicious mix of the Kirana, Gwalior abd Jaipur gayakis (singing style characteristic of a certain school), Padma's vibrant voice is lent wings by both imagination and virtuosity.

Padma was initiated into singing as a child of ten by Pandit Gangadhar Pimpalkhare, and was groomed and inspired by him to take to music professionally. For over five years, from 1969 to 1974, she had the good fortune to study under Shrimati Moghubai Kurdikar, the senior Jaipur vocalist. During these years, her musical perceptions were deeply influenced by Kishori Amonkar, the charismatic daughter of Moghubai. Padma also added to her knowledge and repertoire under other veteran masters like Nivrutti Bua Sarnaik and Gajanan Rao Joshi.

Padma's talent attracted recognition while she was still a student in the form of the Bhulabhai Desai Memorial Scholarship, and then the prestigious Kasarbai Karkar Fellowship of the National Centre of Performing Arts. Since then, Padma has emerged as a compalling presence on the concert scene in the country and abroad, besides being a popular broadcaster over the radio and television.
