🌟 A Melodious Offering: Tribute to Guru Pt. Shantaram Chigari 🌟
An Intimate Baithak with Gwalior Gharana Maestro, Shri. Angad Gaikwad
Join us for an evening of profound musicality and deep respect as we present a "Tribute to Guru Pt. Shantaram Chigari," featuring his torchbearer, the revered Shri. Angad Gaikwad.
🎤 The Legacy of the Guru
Shri. Angad Gaikwad, a senior exponent of the Gwalior Gharana from Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, carries forward the unique and rich legacy of his late guru, the legendary Taal Tapaswi, Pt. Shantaram Chigari.
Pt. Chigari, originally from Khainoor, Karnataka, overcame the challenge of losing his sight at the age of nine to become a truly exceptional artist. His formidable training pedigree includes vocal tutelage under stalwarts like Pt. Narayan Vyas and Pt. Onkarnath Thakur, and unparalleled guidance in tabla from titans such as Pt. Badriprasad Mishra, Ustad Ahmedjan Thirakawa, and Pt. Kanthe Maharaj. This rare blend of vocal and rhythmic mastery defines the music that Shri. Gaikwad now preserves.
🎶 The Performer: Shri. Angad Gaikwad
A musician of great dedication, Shri. Angad Gaikwad has been honored with prestigious recognitions, including the Swaranand Shri Puraskar and the Shivranjan Puraskar. He has graced the stages of esteemed festivals such as the Pt. Bhatkhande Sangeet Samaroh and the Smt. Shakuntala Devi Chigari Pratishthan.
Beyond his performance career, Shri. Gaikwad is an exceptional Guru himself, having nurtured the talents of brilliant young vocalists, Anjali and Nandini Gaikwad.
In this rare concert, Angad Ji will delve into the treasure trove of compositions crafted by his Guru, Pt. Shantaram Chigari. This is a truly exceptional and rare opportunity to experience these unique bandishes and witness the living embodiment of a great musical tradition.
