Tom Alter, other artists to highlight contributions of Nida Fazli

Mavalankar Hall in the heart of the national capital will play host to an event that will highlight the varied contributions to Indian literature and culture by Padam Shree Nida Fazli on June 14.

Organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Sampreshan Multimedia Pvt. Ltd., the programme titled Adabi Cocktail will see a confluence of literature, art and music.

The first chapter of the series will be based on the works of Fazli, which will include a painting exhibition on Nida Sahib's poetry by renowned painter Geeta Dass and recitation by noted theatre, film and television actor Tom Alter and a musical rendition of poetry by the young and talented singer and composer Jazim Sharma, who will be joined by singers Parul Mishra and Malti Joshi.

Atul Gangwar, the conceiver of the event and director of Sampresham Multimedia Pvt. Ltd, said, "While we do considerable work in the professional audio-visual realm, we also realize our duty in giving back to the field of creative art, including literature, music and art. And hence, from time to time, we organise events that are purely creative in nature that explore new vistas to serve and benefit the larger interest of art and cultural promotion."

Mukesh Gupta, Chairman, Media and Culture, PHD Chamber of Commerce, said the coming together of these creative and great artists for remembering the works of Nida Fazli was indeed a memorable occasion.
