An NCPA Presentation
Supported by HSBC India

Sourendro – Soumyojit & group
Film music

Accompanied by Saikat Biswas (electric piano), Himadri Sekhar Das (drums), Himadri Shil (bass guitar), Biswajit Roy (table), Baidehi Sengupta, Sneha Chakraborty, Debosmita Sengupta & Sujata Biswas (all four on chorus).

Sourendro and Soumyojit are known for their collaborative spirit and eclectic musical language, leading to innovative arrangements that blend classical nuance with contemporary textures. The duo endeavours to bring a distinctive interpretative voice to film music and many of their productions also subtly weave in deeper social and cultural reflections.

The event is curated to offer glimpses of the evolving musical soundscape of Hindi cinema through the 20th century—from the evocative black-and-white era to the vibrant sonic palettes of today. Supported by a live orchestra and chorus singers, the presentation will feature reimagined interpretations of unforgettable compositions of legendary singers and music directors from K. L. Saigal, S. D. Burman, Naushad, Salil Chowdhury and Shankar-Jaikishan to R. D. Burman, A. R. Rahman, Pritam and others whose vision and creativity have given the industry an extraordinary legacy.

Box Office: 26th June for Members & 29th June for Public.
