U.S.-based Cadence Entertainment has been hosting online classical music concerts for a year to a select audience, mainly in the U.S. and India. They are broadcast either live or pre-recorded in studios before broadcast, and are also made available later on demand, for a nominal fee, on their website. What is noteworthy is that the concerts feature a wide cross-section of artistes, many of them young. The series has so far had Nayan Ghosh, Kala Ramnath, Shakir Khan, Satyendra Solanki, Sweekar Katti, Dr. Alka Deo Marulkar, Manjiri Asnare Kelkar, Sanjeev Chimmalgi, Gauri Pathare and Sanika Kulkarni. A recent concert was that of the 29-year-old Mumbai-based vocalist Bhagyesh Marathe. Grandson of Pt. Ram Marathe, he is currently under the tutelage of Hubli-based Pt. Kedar Bodas at the Gangubai Hangal Gurukul, where 36 young learners are selected for training by six established gurus.More Related News
