Pittsburgh/IBNS: The Saptak Music School of Pittsburgh, in collaboration with the Music Department of Chatham University, staged a captivating evening of Indian classical music that drew students, connoisseurs, and the wider community into a celebration of India’s cultural heritage.

Guided by Nidrita Mitra Sinha and Ashish Sinha, the program showcased the school’s mission to nurture talent and create platforms for world-class performances.

The evening began with performances by young disciples of the school before the spotlight turned to Pandit Tarun Bhattacharya, the globally acclaimed santoor maestro and disciple of Bharat Ratna Pandit Ravi Shankar.

He was accompanied on tabla by the distinguished percussionist Pandit Subhajyoti Guha, whose intricate rhythms enriched the recital.

Pandit Bhattacharya presented Raga Jansammohini in Jhaptaal and Teentaal, followed by a medley of Dhuns that enthralled the audience. His precision and melodic artistry transported listeners into a realm of pure bliss, earning a spontaneous standing ovation.

“This evening was not just about music—it was about cultural exchange, learning, and inspiration,” said Nidrita Mitra Sinha.

“We are honored to have had maestros of such caliber perform for our community.”
