Concert to feature 'jugalbandi' of music and art
In a one of its kind event where art and music will embark on the same journey together, sarod maestros Ayaan and Amaan Ali Bangash along with painter Paresh Maity will perform a live 'jugalbandi' (duet) of their respective art forms at an upcoming show. Organised by Faber-Castell India and Showhouse Events, 'Strokes & Strings 2020' is based on the belief that "all art forms are inter-connected". "This 'jugalbandi' is a very unique idea to combine two different art forms. One is with colour, strokes and forms, and the other is with musical instruments. The language is different but what binds it together is art," Maity said. While the two sarod players have composed a special piece titled "Navras", which will explore the nine fundamental emotions through classical music, Maity will create similar emotions on the canvas using the scenic beauty of Banaras as a background along with the hues of the colour blue. Amaan said the connect between art and music was "timeless". "Music and .
