Kolkata, January 2025: The Raga Fellowship Foundation proudly announces the return of its flagship annual classical music festival, the Dr. Kalyan Mukherjea Memorial Concert (KMMC), to be held on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at Mahajati Sadan, Kolkata, from 2:30 pm to 9:00 pm.

Since 2023, the Foundation has curated and organized one of the most prestigious and thoughtfully designed Hindustani classical music concerts in the city, honoring the memory of Dr. Kalyan Mukherjea—a pioneering musician and connoisseur. This year’s edition of the KMMC promises an extraordinary musical experience with four back-to-back recitals, featuring some of the most celebrated artists in Indian classical music.

The highlight of this year’s concert is the much-awaited Surbahar recital by Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee. Known for his unparalleled mastery, Pandit Mukherjee is set to mesmerize the audience with the deep, resonant bass notes and expansive tonal range of the surbahar—a rare and intricate instrument in the Indian classical tradition. His recital is expected to be a treat for both seasoned listeners and new audiences alike.

The concert will open with Vidushi Shubha Mudgal, the highly acclaimed khayal and thumri maestro, who will perform afternoon ragas. Following her performance, the stage will be graced by Ustad Irfan Muhammad Khan, the erudite sarod virtuoso and the khalifa of the Lucknow gharana, along with Arnab Chakrabarty, who will accompany him on the sarod. The evening will conclude with a solo vocal recital by Pt. Samarth Nagarkar, known for his powerful and emotive renditions of Hindustani classical ragas.

The Dr. Kalyan Mukherjea Memorial Concert has quickly become a cultural landmark in Kolkata, drawing music lovers from across the country and beyond. The Raga Fellowship Foundation remains committed to promoting and preserving the rich heritage of Hindustani classical music through this meticulously curated event.
