Hyderabad: The prestigious annual Indian music festival of Hyderabad, Pandit Jasraj’s 49th ‘Pandit Motiram Pandit Maniram Sangeet Samaroha’ will be held between November 27 and November 30 at the open air amphitheatre, Centre for Cultural Resources and Training (CCRT), Hitech City.
Durga Jasraj, the daughter of Pandit Jasraj, who announced the annual music festival in Hyderabad on Friday, said that over the years the music festival has served as a platform for the most iconic musicians in the country.
“We will be celebrating the 50th Samaroha next year as our country celebrates Amrit Mahotsav, the 75 years of Indian independence next year. For 47 years Pandit Jasraj, hosted this annual ritual of Sangeet Samaroha in Hyderabad, all by himself, without seeking any support or sponsorship from anyone, till his last breath he did this, there may not be another such precedent in the world. He didn’t break this commitment to Hyderabad ever, despite several options,” Durga Jasraj said.
Durga Jasraj pointed out that Pandit Jasraj always considered himself a Hyderabadi and a son of this soil. This program has several interesting elements this year to evoke the interest of music connoisseurs. It’s a four-day festival this year. We have a performance of Viraj Joshi, grandson of Bharat Ratna Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, to celebrate the centenary year of Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, Viraj is a very talented student of his grandfather’s legacy, she said.
Vice Chairman and CEO, Yadadri Temple Development Authority (YTDA), Kishan Rao said that it’s been a tradition for years to have the music festival of Pandit Jasraj in November in Hyderabad. It’s a regret that Pt. Jasraj is not around, though I have pleasant memories of being associated with him for this festival. But, we should commend Durga Jasraj for continuing that legacy and tradition by coming forward to host this festival. Hyderabad has always been a priority destination for artists, and we have seen the iconic of the artists performing here. I wish grand success for this event and look forward to it continuing to be a memorable event of Hyderabad.
