Lady Shri Ram College for Women recently organised a pre-Tarang cultural event, Rabab recital with Abdul Hamid Bhat. The event began by introducing the performers, and inviting the Principal, Suman Sharma along with the teachers-in-charge on the stage for lighting the ceremonial lamp and felicitating Abdul Hamid Bhat and his team, who had flown in all the way from Kashmir. The performance was made possible with the aid of Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts, the representatives of which were present as well. The guest of honour was IAS Rakhi Bhandari, an alumna of LSR.


The performers positioned themselves on stage, poised with their instruments. What followed were mellow notes of the santoor, the rustic rabab and the

tabla

, and a set of other percussion instruments, creating a spellbinding symphony on stage. It was an hour long session full of soft tunes and

jugalbandi

, which would turn fast – paced at times and effortlessly slow. The team even performed some contemporary

Bollywood

songs, which the audience was urged to guess. Students clapped and sang along upon identifying the song. There was an unending round of applause accompanied by cheers as the performance came to an end.
