Kala Sangam is delighted to once again welcome the undisputed Queen of Hindustani Music Begum Parveen Sultana on Friday 13th November at National Centre for Early Music, York at 7:30pm. Also dubbed the ‘Poetess of Music’ and ‘The Ultimate Soprano’ by international press who applaud her for both her outstanding musicality and breathtaking virtuosity. From an early age, Parveen was influenced by her father, Ikramul Majid and then trained by the renowned Acharya Chinmoy Lahiri in Calcutta. At 12, she was the youngest artist to receive the Padmashri’, the coveted award from the Government of India. In Bombay, she came under her Guru and mentor, Ustad Mohammed Dilshad Khan with whom she acquired a new dimension to her singing, giving it the required mastery of ragas and a voice culture combined with uplifting spirituality which always leavesthe audience spellbound. Parveenji will be accompanied by tabla maestro Partha Sarathi Mukerjee (Tabla), Chiranjib Chakraborty (Harmonium), Nina Virdee (Tanpura).
