Smt Sawani Shende (Vocal)
This is the VD Paluskar Memorial recital, sponsored by Suneeta Sathye. Apart from significant contributions as a Hindustani Classical artist himself, Paluskar ji is credited for singing the first version of the bhajan 'Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram' and he also founded the famous Gandharva Mahavidhyalaya insitution.
Artist Bio: Smt Sawani Shende was born to musically rich family, being very fortunate to have her father and grandmother as her Gurus. Sawani ji's grandmother, Smt. Kusum Shende was a notable singer of the Kirana Gharana, and an honoured artist of the Sangeet Natak Era. The quest for more and more knowledge in music brought Sawani ji to learn more music under the expert guidance of Smt Veena Sahastrabuddhe, a noted classical vocalist from Gwalior Gharana. Sawani ji mesmerises audiences with her pure yet aesthetic renderings of raags. Her confidence in mastery of khayaals, her crystal clear diction, and overall sensitivity, bring a vibrant and unique energy to each of her performances. Accompanying artists are Melbourne's much sought after Shri Pandurang Toravi on tabla, and Shri Prasad Karve on Harmonium. This event will be held at Clayton Theatre.
