Musical Evening with Rekha Surya - Ghazals, Thumri, Dadra
Come attend a musical evening with Rekha Surya who is a renowned Hindustani Classical Vocalist and a visiting artist from India. She is the youngest disciple of Begum Akhtar and Girija Devi and has carved a niche for herself in the field of Indian classical music. This will be in Woburn on October 8th at 7 PM. The contribution will be $15 per person. If you interested in attending the concert please email at ragi98@hotmail.com. Here are some of the reviews on rekha Surya's performance. "Rekha Surya sang to a packed hall. Rekha belongs to the Begum Akhtar tradition, having studied under the Begum and followed that hypnotic inheritance with great enthusiasm and gift. Her voice is deep and resonant and her pronunciation has the same savour as the Begum's - a sense of hopelessness and despair which Rekha brought to life in her style." The Indian Express "Rekha Surya enthralled .... Her audience was spellbound by her Hori, Kajri, Jhoola and Dadra, interspersed with Ghazal..... She was sometimes sprightly, sometimes melancholy, always poignant." The Bombay Times "Rekha Surya's rich voice and passionate music evokes an exotic image of a bygone era. But love - the theme of Hindustani light-classical music -is as relevant today as it was then.....Because this genre of music is inherently romantic - yet classical - it is enjoyed both by the connoisseur of music and the layman." The Satesman "The popular trend is to sing Ghazal either by itself, or along with Geet and Bhajan. Rekha Surya's special mark is that she treats Ghazal as an allied form of Thumri, and presents it alongside Thumri and Dadra." The Hindustan Times "Rekha Surya is a talent to behold.....Rarely does one find such confluence of restraint and abandon, discipline and playfulness, nerve-tingling sensuality and a near-sacred dedication to the Indian art of vocal exposition!"
