The annual festival of music organised by Saptak from the
1st to 13th of January every year, is a musical feast that is the delight of
any music connoisseur. This celebration of music is quite a unique experience
in itself. The evening's performance always begins with an emerging talent. With
several luminaries in the audience, this is a grand stage for the young
performer.
As the evening progresses, some of the most renowned
performers in Indian classical music take the stage. The rasikas often leave in
the early hours of the morning with a Raag Baghesri, Malkauns or Lalit still
humming in their ears. It's a celebration of music in its purest form. There
are no tickets, no reservations, and one gets to be in the hall only through
invitation. With the hall brimming over with highly knowledgeable and sensitive
music connoisseurs, the performers are motivated to put forth their best
performance at Saptak.
What makes the annual fare a memorable one is that it scales
over popular demands to provide a rich bouquet of experience. While the
audience gets treated to vintage khayal performances from the established
maestros, they also have an opportunity to experience the dhrupad gayaki,
thumris, rajasthani folk music, instrumental recitals of sitar, sarangi, flute,
the mohan veena, rudra veena and percussion recitals on the tabla, pakhawaj and
even the mridangam by the great contemporary musicians and musical
experimentations of fusion . With nearly 125 top artistes and about 50
performances spread over 13 days (15 Baithaks including 2 morning baithaks), the
music lovers from all over India and abroad converge at the Saptak music
festival for an unparalleled experience.
