Fresh from his Padma Shri award, santoor maestro Tarun Bhattacharya is all set to enthrall Varanasi with a unique collaboration. He attended a special performance for violinist L. Shankar, merging the distinctive sounds of his instruments. The concert is part of the Annapurna Devi Foundation Sangeet Yatra, which highlights classical music and supports artistes.

After his recent Padmashree, santoor maestro Tarun Bhattacharya is all set to perform in Varanasi as part of the Annapurna Devi Foundation Music Tour. The concert will feature a collaboration with violinist L. Shankar. This performance will bring together the santoor and the violin in a joint recital. The union of santoor and violin – two instruments with contrasting tonal textures – promises a rare musical dialogue that blends complexity with ease. Kolkata-based Bhattacharya has continued to perform in India and abroad in recent months. Along with his performances, he is also engaged in training young musicians following the guru-shishya tradition. The concert in Varanasi will be part of the Foundation’s ongoing efforts to present classical music performances while supporting artists at various stages of their careers. The upcoming recital is expected to attract the attention of audiences interested in Hindustani classical music and instruments.
