In an endeavour to promote Indian classical music, the IIM Calcutta chapter of the SPICMACAY (Society for the Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Amongst Youth) is organising recitals of Hindustani classical music for the IIM Calcutta community.
The campus will be set to play host to two foremost exponents of the Benares gharana vocal tradition over two days - October 24 and 25. The programme will be held at the Management Centre for Human Values (MCHV) Seminarium, at IIM Calcutta. The first evening will have a performance by the brothers Rajan and Sajan Mishra, recepients of the Sangeet Natak Academy Award in 1998 and the coveted Sanskrit Award for musical excellence from the Prime Minister of India. A performance of Girija Devi is scheduled for the next day. A Padma Bhushan awardee, Girija Devi represents the Benaras gharana of vocalists and is adept at various genres of Hindustani vocal music, including khayal, thumri, dadra, chaiti and kajari with her forte being Poorab and thumri. She is also described as the last living queen of thumri.
