Shruti Sadolikar in Concert - A female vocalist of the highest calibre.
A rare treat for lovers of fine classical Indian music.
About Shruti Sadolikar: A leading exponent of the Jaipur- Atrauli Gharana, Shrutiji studied from an early age under the tutelage of her father Pandit Vamanrao Sadolikar and later from Pt Gullubhai Jasdanwalla. She is currently learning from Ustad Azizuddin Khan, grandson of the great Ustad Alladiya Khan, the founder of the Jaipur Gharana. Shrutiji sings all forms of classical and semi-classical including khayal, thumri, tappa, natya sangeet and bhajan. Her deeper interest lies in haveli sangeet, a form that was the subject of her thesis and special performances overseas.
Shrutiji holds a masters degree from SNDT, Mumbai and has performed in India and internationally to great acclaim. She has several recordings including educational CDs. In a richly diverse and active award-winning career she has been a Guru at the renowned Sangeet Research Academy, Kolkata and also formed a foundation in memory of her father to propagate music, arts and education. In 1999 she worked on a three hour play to which she also set the music. Sangeet Tulsidas, won five awards and was performed in Marathi all over Holland as part of the Theatre Festival.

Dearest Patrons,
Thank you to many of you who attended Debi Prasadji’s recent mehfil. It was a beautiful and intimate afternoon and, as always, your presence and support is much appreciated.
We hope you can all make it to the next event in our Concert Series. We are honoured to have such an esteemed guest and I am personally very pleased to be presenting a female artist at this program.
Anand Kunte on Sarangi and Mangesh Mulye on Tabla will complete this superb event. We are also pleased to have the opportunity to hear vocal music accompanied by Sarangi in this instance. This line up is sure to make for a spell-binding and exquisite evening.
We thank the Marathi Association for making Shrutiji’s visit possible and are very happy to have their support for this event. We urge you to attend Shrutiji’s other two programs at the St George Auditorium – the concert on Monday 11th June will be a chance to hear some morning ragas on the long weekend.
For those who may be interested in requesting a master class with Shrutiji or her accompanists I urge you to contact Dhananjay Gurjar of The Marathi Association (details above) with your expression of interest.
Media enquiries may also be directed either to myself or The Marathi Association.
