Dear Wikimedians,
We are glad to invite you to join us for an event in Mumbai on October 7th
where Pandita. Neela Bhagwat [1] will donate her comprehensive textual
compilation of Gwalior Gharana [2] bandishes.
Timing: 5.30 to 7 pm
Venue: Shivaji Park Nagarik Sangh, (hall next to Shivaji statue at Shivaji
Park, Dadar)
As some of you may know that Gwalior Gharana is one of the old traditions
of Hindustani gayaki and like other gayaki's the tradition has been passed
on orally in the guru-shishya parampara. Pt. Neela Bhagwat has over a
period of 30 years (of learning and teaching music) meticulously compiled
most of the Gwalior Gharana bandishes with notations and notes. Upon the
request of CIS-A2K, she has agreed to donate this comprehensive collection
which will be scanned and hosted on Wikisource. We hope that this will be
of interest to music aficionados and those interested in the study of
Hindustani Music.
CIS-A2K is thankful to the event hosts, Khayal Trust. The event will
attract a community of Hindustani music lovers and we hope to orient them
to consider improving the quality of content on Hindustani music and
musicians on Wikipedia during the event. We welcome the community members
in Mumbai to join us in this effort. Please help spread the word.
Best,
Vishnu
