Mood Melody & Rhythm





Music for the Soul

Vocal recital
by Falguni Mitra

Brilliance blended with beauty- is the essence of Falguni Mitra's music.

Gifted with a deep, melodious voice, he started training at the age of five under his father, Sangeetacharya Shib Mitra, imbibing the best of Betia Gharana and the Dagar Gharana Alaapchari (Raga development)

A foremost exponent of Alaap, Dhrupad and Dhamaar, Falguni Mitra has brought about a reformation in this art-form through successful innovations in its melodic structure, rhythmic variations and apposite tone-colour.

Unwavering purity of the Raga, imaginative phrases loaded with emotions and nuances, majestic compositions, intricate laykari (rhythmic patterns) maintaining the literary text and an extraordinary sense of proportion, giving an overall effect of great completeness - are the hallmarks of Falguni Mitra's music. An aesthetic charm permeates throughout his renderings with a distinctive stamp of his artistic personality.

An erudite musician, he is presenting and propagating this great art-form in such a way as to bring back its glory and grace. His lecture-demoustrations and articles in various journals are highly appreciated by one and all.
