Manjari Chaturvedi performs at Kathak festival in Lucknow

Manjari Chaturvedi, who was in Lucknow recently to perform at a kathak festival, revealed she had greater plans for the lost art from Lucknow.
“For any art like mine to survive, it’s important to preserve the legacy that great musicians have left behind, and you know it's almost scary that most of the renditions that have been passed down for ages among musicians are not recorded.They simply have no written record! So now, if my chief musician Noorul bhai forgets a piece, I have no source that I can refer to for future work. Which is precisely why I am thinking of establishing an Institute of Qawwals right here in UP somewhere.
We have had great qawwals from places like Barabanki, Lucknow, Badayun, Rampur, Kakori, Sitapur Agra and Bareilly. We need to preserve their work. What I am planning will not just be a place of learning. I want it to be an archive, a place where people can come for research work and sch. That is how the popularity of Qawwali will increase.". We need to preserve their work. What I’m planning will not just be a place of learning. I want it to be an archive, a place where people can come for research work and such.
