Sounak Chattopadhyay Visits Belmont
Maybe you’re busy thinking about Next Big Nashville right now, but I’m betting you’ve gotten so tired of music that sounds the same and the same and the same that you’ve already given your free wristband away. Here’s an event to juxtapose against all the NBN egos and decibles. Monday, September 15, Belmont University’s Music and Discourse lecture series presents Visiting Scholar Sounak Chattopadhyay, a popular young singer and performer of classical Hindustani music who is beginning a U.S. tour. He will be joined by percussionist Ben Mawhorter and a Nashville-based harmonium player whose name is missing from the info I have. The following events are all free and open to the public.
10:00, Massey Concert Hall: “India—Land of Myriad Colours” Lecture of general interest for the university community.
2:00, Neely Dining Room: Workshop with Sounak and tabla player Ben Mawhorter.
7:30, Massey Concert Hall: Concert. “Colours after Sunset: Ragas for Evening Moods.”
