Experience an extraordinary fusion of musical traditions in this captivating concert, where Indian music meets contemporary guitar.

In the first half, acclaimed sarod maestro Dr Pandit Ranajit Sengupta, celebrated for his deep, introspective performances, joins forces with distinguished sitarist Ashim Chowdhury, a torchbearer of the Imdad Khani Gharana. Together, they present a dynamic jugalbandi (duet), showcasing the intricate interplay and profound depth of Indian classical strings. 

The second half welcomes the versatile and virtuosic German guitarist André Krengel, known for his unique style that transcends genres. Krengel's contemporary guitar artistry converses with Sengupta's sarod, creating a cross-cultural dialogue that bridges Eastern and Western musical landscapes. 

Accompanying them on tabla is the esteemed Kousic Sen, whose rhythmic mastery provides a solid foundation, enhancing the synergy between the string instruments. Join us for an evening where tradition meets innovation, and diverse musical worlds resonate in harmony. 

This concert is part of Milap’s Indika Festival, taking place across the Liverpool City Region from 17–31 October 2025. It also forms a highlight of Milap’s 40th Anniversary celebrations.
