Rabindra Jayanti: A Musical Tribute to Tagore

Rabindra Jayanti is a celebration of the timeless legacy of Rabindranath Tagore, whose music transcends boundaries of culture, language, and emotion. This evening presents a curated journey through Tagore’s vast musical repertoire, weaving together compositions that reflect diverse emotional landscapes—devotion, love, nature, and introspection. Rooted in Indian classical ragas yet enriched by folk traditions of Bengal and global influences, Rabindra Sangeet embodies a unique confluence of tradition and modernity.

The program is led by Bananti Chakraborty, a vocal coach based in Berlin, who trained in Indian classical music at Shrutinandan, the institution of Pt Ajoy Chakraborty for 16yrs. She further specialized in Rabindra Sangeet under the late Rajeshwar Bhattacharya for six years. Alongside composing original Bengali songs, she actively engages audiences through interpretations of retro Bengali and Hindi music on social media. After completing her second master’s degree in Berlin, she has begun her journey as a dedicated music educator.

Together with five accompanying musicians, Kanishka Sarkar (Keyboard), Sebastian Dreyer (Sitar), Nilanjan Dutta (Tabla), Apratim Roy Chowdhury (Flute) and Dwaipayan Paul (Guitar), the ensemble offers a performance that blends tradition with contemporary expression, inviting audiences into an immersive and reflective musical experience.
