Jashn-e-Ishq: Celebrating Love

An evening of music and poetry by Sourendro – Soumyojit featuring Shabana Azmi

There is perhaps no facet of human life that is explored so exhaustively through Arts as the feeling of ‘love’. The theme has inspired many poets, both in the East and the West, resulting in some exquisite works of poetry in myriad languages, some of which are set to music and transformed into haunting melodies.

Shabana Azmi, a veteran actress known for her brilliant work in Bollywood and Theatre, will recite some evergreen love poems penned by poets like Linda Greig, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Javed Akhtar, Kaifi Azmi,  Agha Shahid Ali and other classical as well as modern poets. Juxtaposing poetry with song will be musical renditions by the duo, Sourendro (piano) and Soumyojit (vocal music). The selection of songs, exploring various hues of love, will span across many genres: ghazal, thumri, geet and film songs.

In memory of Smt. Krishna Khatau.
