Event Description : MUSIC TALK "The Musical Journey of Rabindranath Tagore" Presented by Reba Som

As part of 'Music Appreciation Promotion' Series. 

Chair: Shri Suresh Goel

Despite having bunked school and formal training, Tagore imbibed multiple cultural influences and his music is a rich amalgam of classical Indian and western, folk, and regional musical styles. The talk will also explain why Rabindrasangeet remains relevant today and why to many it assumes the form of a personal religion
