"Music of the Sarode: Then and Now" a recital by Arnab Chakrabarty at The Attic, 36, Regal Building, CP > 6:30pm on 17th February 2012
Time : 6:30 pm
Event Details : “Music of the Sarode: Then and Now” a recital by Arnab Chakrabarty.
The sarode is a short-necked lute native to India. It is an amalgam of features of the Afghan rabab and a near-extinct Indian instrument known as the sursringar.
The story of the sarode is intrinsically linked to that of the migrant Afghan population that settled the plains of northern India over a period of 800-1000 years, and their socio-economic transformation from a martial community to one of musicians, craftsmen and small traders.
Arnab usually plays on a 130 year old sarode inherited from his teachers from the the Seniya-Shahjahanpur gharana. Built Circa 1880 in Darbhanga, Bihar and owned by Murad Ali, the famous founder of the gharana, this type of sarodehas been compared to the Cremonese violins from the 17th and 18th centuries in terms of the clarity of its voice, acoustic sustain, and richness of timbre.
Today Arnab Chakrabarty talks a little about the Sarode and performs several variants of Kalyan in the first part, and traditional sarode gats in Kafi, Zila, Pilu, Gara and Bhairavi in the second part. This occasion also marks the first public unveiling of Arnab's new sarode, a near-identical replica of his 130-year-old concert sarode, built by Delhi's own Nizamuddin Khan, also known as Nizam Sitarwale. The new instrument has been built with the intent of retiring the ancient heirloom from the risks and rigours of concert tourng.
Chakrabarty is one of the finest sarode players of the younger generation and is an important exponent of the Seniya-Shahjahanpur gharana. He is a disciple of the late Prof. Kalyan Mukherjea, a protege of Pandit Radhika Mohan Maitra, and has also studied with Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta, Pandit Ywashwantbuwa Joshi and Pandit Brij Narayan. Arnab's guru, Prof. Mukherjea, has hailed him as the "best representative of the musical values I inherited from my guru, Pandit Maitra".
