ENBD Classics: Kaushiki Chakraborty

The 9th season of the Emirates NBD Classics will present legends of Hindustani classical music on February 28, March 21 and April 17 at Emirates Theatre in Dubai.

On 17 April, Emirates NBD Classics Season 9 is proud to present, “Mehfil” with Kaushiki Chakraborty. The March 21 event has been postponed to April 17.

Kaushika, who was born in Kolkata, has accompanied her father in his world tours of music performances since the late 1980s and sang her first song at age 7. At age ten, she started learning Indian classical music at the academy of Jnan Prakash Ghosh who was also her father’s guru, later joined ITC Sangeet Research Academy from where she graduated in 2004, and was also groomed by her father.

There is still no update of the originally planned event- ‘Romantic Flute’ featuring Rakesh Chaurasia, an Indian flautist on April 17. We will update soon.

Each season of the Emirates NBD Classics brings splendid evenings of a higher order musical macrocosm.

With each concert, the city’s music aficionados get an otherwise rare opportunity to witness the sheer magic of the world’s most celebrated music virtuosos.

On the whole, the season presents an awe-inspiring diversity of talent, symphony and performance.

Tickets to the shows start at Dh100 and are available on www.bookmyshow.com. Doors open at 7.30pm. Show starts 8pm.
