Uttar Dakshin concert on March 1: Flute-Violin jugalbandi to mesmerise Hyderabadis

Hyderabad: Uttar Dakshin Concert is scheduled to be held in the city on March 1 at JNAFAU Auditorium, Masab Tank here at 6 pm.

It will be a grand jugalbandi that will bring together two legendary maestros: Padma Shri Pandit Ronu Majumdar on the flute and Vidwan R Kumaresh, the celebrated violinist of Carnatic music.

This much-awaited jugalbandi will be organised jointly by Vivid Arts and Surmandal, Hyderabad.

The maestros ready to entertain Hyderabad

Pandit Ronu Majumdar, one of India’s most revered flautists, was recently honoured with the prestigious Padma Shri for his immense contributions to Indian classical music.

His soulful renditions and unparalleled mastery over the bansuri have enthralled audiences worldwide. Vidwan R Kumaresh, one of the most acclaimed violin maestros of the Carnatic music fraternity, is known for his dynamic and deeply expressive performances, seamlessly blending tradition with innovation.

Despite coming from two distinct classical traditions, both artists share a profound belief that the difference in styles is not a challenge but rather the richness of Indian classical music. They see their collaboration as a way of creating a holistic musical experience, where the intricate rhythmic and melodic structures of both styles merge into a unified, immersive soundscape.

Adding to this grand musical confluence will be V Narhari on the tabla and Tumkur Ravishankar on the mridangam, whose rhythmic brilliance will further elevate the concert.

The Uttar Dakshin series has consistently brought together the finest Hindustani and Carnatic musicians, fostering an artistic dialogue that celebrates the diversity and unity of Indian classical music. This jugalbandi promises to be an unforgettable evening for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.

Donor passes for the concert are available on BookMyShow for a nominal subscription.
