Sunidhi Chauhan


Sunidhi Chauhan
Sunidhi Chauhan needs no introduction as she is one of the most popular singers in Bollywood today. Her first break in a Hindi film was in the film Shastra followed by Gang, Veergati, Dahek, Bade Dilwala, Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, Shyam Benegal’s Samar. Her first breakthrough however Ram GopalVerma’s Mast. She sang the hit ‘Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi’ and also three other songs in the film. Sandeep Chowtha’s first film as a composer got an ideal virgin voice in Sunidhi and her song became the most memorable number in the film.After recording for Sandeep Chowta for the film Jungle, she went on to sing in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Mission Kashmir. She added yet another feather to her cap by bagging the R D Burman award for the most promising newcomer at the Filmfare Awards 2001. Sunidhi had also cut her solo album called Aira Gaira Nathu Khaira.

Sunidhi's live show will be on Saturday Oct 16, and you can buy tickets for her show now. Remember, if you are a member you don't need to buy tickets separately - it is all included in the membership.

 
Swagatalakshmi Dasgupta


Swagatalakshmi Dasgupta is now one of the most glittering stars in the limitless sky of Rabindrasangeets. She is able to snatch away the heart of audience from the petty worldly matters through her completely devoted rendering (playing herself only a keyboard as the instrument) and it goes on ringing in the mind even after a long time, while in leisure. Here lies the mystery behind her fame. Without her, the sphere is incomplete.

Swagatalakshmi is also renowned for enchanting recitation. She also writes nice poetries during leisure. Four books of her poetries namely, "Akasher Gaan", "Duyoranir Chithi" etc. have been already published. Her story "Kakhon Basanto..." was published in Rabibashariyo of Anandabazar Patrika.

You can buy tickets for the entire Sunday package (Oct 17) which includes Swagatalakshmi's performance.

 
Saayantanee Majumdar


Saayantanee Majumdar, a notable singer from Kolkata, has a gifted voice coupled with spontaneous and matured singing talent that can render to perfection any musical expression. And that has earned Saayantanee a pride of place among the finest exponents of present day Bengali music. Not to mention, she has also been a prolific singer of Hindi songs, Geet, Ghazal, Folk music and Devotional among others.

You can buy tickets for the entire Sunday package (Oct 17) which includes Saayantanee's performance.

 
  Local Programs


Besides the professional programs, we also have many programs performed by local artists who have spent countless hours rehearsing for the show. Some among them are Mahisashur Mardini performed by Nataraj School of Dance, Deja Vu Tollywood - a Bengali play recounting the golden moments of Bengali cinema, and a musical performance by students of Sisirkana Dhar Choudhury.

In short, we are all set for three days of packed programs, and you can enjoy all of those for free if you become a member.
