Time : 6:30 pm
Event Details : 'Khoj: a search for nuance’ a flute recital by Srinibas Satapathy
The bansuri is not just a musical instrument, it has a great cultural and religious significance among Hindus and the land where Lord Krishna was born and spent his youth, are still alive with the Krishna- legend and still redolent with the music of his flute. Numerous common names reflect these epitaphs of Krishna - Venugopal, Bansilal, Murali and Muralidhar for example. ‘The Lila’ is the mosaic of music and dance of Krishna with the ‘gopis’ as a group and with Radha in particular.
In Indian mythology, painting, dance and music the flute is so intimately associated with Krishna and the ‘gopis’ that no flautist can bypass trying to recreate the haunting melodies with which Lord Krishna seduced the young girls of Brindavan. Much inner meaning has been given about the symbolism of this metaphor imitating the relationship between God and devotee, where the melody flowing from Krishna's flute is the call of the Divine, inviting all creatures to rejoin God in eternal bliss. It is also remarkable how the life force (pran, or literally "breath") is converted into a musical resonance (sur) using nothing but a transverse length of bamboo with 6 holes cut into it.
'Khoj' is an attempt to explore the immense vastness of classical Indian music through the medium of the bamboo flute. It is a quest for further and deeper understanding of Hindustani music through exploration and elaboration of it's various forms of 'raga vistaar'. The concert is a presentation of Hindustani ragas in the very traditional format, yet with a fresh and individual approach.
Srinibas Satapathy was fortunate to be exposed to Indian classical music through his father, Shri Jagannath Satapathy. He started his formal training in flute at the Utkal Sangeet Mahavidyalaya, Bhubaneswar under the tutelage of Guru Prof. Mohini Mohan Pattanaik. There he completed his Masters in Music in 1998 and subsequently received advanced training from Pandit Rajendra Prasanna of Banaras Gharana in Delhi.
He received a National Scholarship from 1995-98 and was judged the best flute player in the Youth Festival in Gujarat as well as in the All India State Bank Competition.
Srinibas has performed with the most famous Odissi dancers - Late Guru Gangadhar Pradhan, Sonal Mansingh, Madhavi Mudgal, Bijoyini Satapathy, Surupa Sen, Aruna Mohanty, Ranjana Gauhar and Sujata Mohanty as an accompanist in most of the prestigious festivals around the world.
He is a soloist in his own right and has performed in the US and Belgium as well as in Festival of Young Musicians in Patna, the Annual Music Festival of Nrityagram in Bangalore, the Nalanda Festival, Bihar as well as in Kolkata and Orissa. Srinibas is a graded artiste (Classical Music) of the All India Radio. He has been a Guest Lecturer at the University of Culture, Bhubaneswar, Orissa. He has given lecture-demonstrations and workshops in various cities of United States of America. He has also composed music for dance productions.
