A musical evening dedicated to 'Rangmandal' Guru B.V. Karanth

A musical performance 'Rang Sangeet' was staged at Bharat Bhawan as a part of the

Aadaranjali

, a series organised to pay tribute to B.V. Karanth. It was based on the songs used by the director in his plays.

Rang sangeet

was directed by Rajeev Singh and Ranjana Tiwari. A forty minute musical performance which kept the audience hooked until their last song. The group started off with ‘Shankar Bholenath Bhavsagar se Bachaiyo’ and concluded with ‘Faag’. All the songs were clubbed with many instruments playing in the backdrop. It is a unique style used by

BV karanth

. The director used many instruments while composing the songs for his plays. The group comprised of fifteen singers and three rhythmist who were trained in a five days workshop before the show. No doubt, it was a compelling performance on the first day of the series.
