Shurer Dhara performs in three cities of India

Shurer Dhara, a music school focused on Rabindra Sangeet spearheaded by the leading exponent of Tagore’s music and ideology in Bangladesh Rezwana Choudhury Bannya, recently performed in three cities, namely, Kolkata, Lucknow and New Delhi in India on an 8-day tour on invitation from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR).
The team was diverse, consisting of 17 members led by Rezwana Choudhury Bannya herself, which included a group of singers and musicians from Shurer Dhara, a professional dancer-choreographer, and dancers from Shurer Dhara’s project for underprivileged children called ‘Music for Development’.
The team went to Kolkata on June 2, and next day they performed at Rabindra-Sadan, Kolkata at a cultural evening organised by the ICCR. The performance comprised renditions from the 1950s to the 1970s era, highlighting songs of the ‘Language Movement’ and ‘Liberation War’ period of Bangladesh and also traditional Bangla folk music. There was also a dance performance by children of Shurer Dhara’s project for underprivileged children ‘Music for Development’.
The Shurer Dhara troupe showcased their final presentation on 2 July in the capital, New Delhi. The theme of the show was centred on Tagore’s Nobel-winning piece, Gitanjali or Song Offerings. The show was held at Azad Bhawan Auditorium, ICCR. The presence of audience was outstanding – the auditorium was crammed, an over full house.
Renditions were performed in solo and chorus by Rezwana Choudhury Bannya and her team, along with dance pieces performed by children from ‘Music for Development’. The audience expressed their exuberance through gleeful applause and heartiest compliments to the performers after the event concluded.
