This program provides a rare opportunity to hear the surshringar, a lute that is nearly extinct in India today. The surshringar, derived from ancient instruments and probably introduced in the early 19th century, can be described as a bass sarod and is used mainly in the introspective dhrupad and dhamar styles. The award-winning Joydeep Ghosh, who has been hailed as one of India’s most respected surshringar players, is helping to keep alive this venerable tradition. Tabla accompaniment by Subhen Chatterjee. This program is dedicated to the late sarod maestro Ali Akbar Khan.
