Aficionados of Tagore swarmed the Chhayanaut Shangskriti Bhaban to mark the 73rd death anniversary of Tagore on August 8. The curtain was raised with the resonance of sitar and president of Chhayanaut Sanjida Khatun chaired the event. The stage was set with a backdrop of Tagore’s portrait and the lighting complimented the atmosphere of the programme where Sanjida elaborately discussed the life and philosophy of Tagore along with his songs.
The artistes who presented solos are Sanjida, Saikat Mukherjee, Mohammad Sifayet Ullah Mukul, Azizur Rahman Tuhin, ATM Jahangir, Abdul Wahid, Fahmida Khatun and Tania Mannan among others. A choral song “Sun Lo Sun Lo Balika” by the teachers of Chhayanaut was an enjoyable presentation. Many of the numbers performed represented Tagore’s philosophy on life and death.
After the soothing songs, a dance piece “Amay Khomo He Khomo” presented by Warda Rihab with vocal support by Sanjida, captivated the audience. The Friday evening was indeed a successful reminisce of Tagore’s philosophy.
