About The Event
Harmonium Solo – Indian Classical and Semi-classical Music
Witness the brilliance of harmonium and organ maestro Dr. Prakash Chitnis, who has graced the stage for over 45 years. Celebrated for his unique gayaki ang, critics often say that Dr. Chitnis’s harmonium doesn’t just play, it sings.
The variety in his solo recitals stands on his rock-solid foundation in ragas (ragadari), which he received from Vinayakbuva Kale. This classical depth is layered with his mastery over semi-classical forms like natyasangeet, thumri and bhajans. Over the years, he has also accompanied legendary stalwarts such as Bhimsen Joshi, Firoze Dastur, Yashwantbua Joshi and Dr. Prabha Atre. He is an empanelled an artiste of the ICCR and was awarded the Sangeetacharya degree (the highest doctoral-level qualification in music) by the Akhil Bharatiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya in 2025.
In this recital, Dr. Chitnis will be presenting vilambit and drut compositions for raga-based? and semi-classical compositions.
He will be accompanied by Ajay Damle (tabla). Narendra Bedekar will be the compère.
