First Half - Vocal Concert by Pandit Suman Ghosh 

Pandit Suman Ghosh is no stranger to the Houston audiences. His mellifluous voice, soul-stirring artistry and technical perfection receive rave reviews worldwide. India’s leading daily, The Times of India described his concert with the headline “A Night of Musical Bliss.” He has had the rare privilege of performing for the President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official Presidential residence. Key honors bestowed upon him include a Lifetime Achievement Award, Gold Medal for Excellence at the Park City Film Music Festival and a Proclamation ‘Pandit Suman Ghosh Day’ by the City of Houston commemorating his arrival here. 

Besides his genius as a performing musician, Pandit Ghosh is also a path-finding Guru. As the founder of the Center for Indian Classical Music of Houston (CICMH), Pandit Ghosh has created this unparalleled and exceptional institution, to increase awareness, understanding and respect for this ancient Indian art form and its lineage. His efforts have been lauded by Mayor Sylvester Turner who congratulated him for helping put Houston on the Cultural map of the world.  

Second Half - Sarod Concert by Pandit Tejendra Narayan Majumdar

An illustrious torchbearer of the Senia Maihar Gharana, Pandit Tejendra Narayan Majumdar has had the privilege to train under some of the stalwarts in the field who molded his latent talent into genius through intensive training. He is a leading disciple of one of the Legends of Indian Music – Swar-Samrat Late Ustad Ali Akbar Khan saheb, Pt. Tejendra Narayan Ji’s music combines the intellectual depth, technical virtuosity and the iconic aesthetic richness of his gharana. Above all, through the purity and dexterity of his style of sarod playing, he takes the listeners along with him with remarkable ease- a quality that is the true hallmark of a genius. 

Pandit Tejendra Narayan Majumdar's brilliance and popularity as a classical artiste has not dimmed his interest in composing, arranging, and experimenting in other areas of music. From composing the background score of meaningful films to musical ballets to music for Bengali films, he is always ready to take on any musical challenge. He has also composed and arranged music for different world-renowned singers.
