"Main Akela hi chala tha janib-e-manzil magar
The magical musical journey began with flower offerings from the budding artists of Aarohan to Maa Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, music, art, wisdom and learning. This was followed by a bhajan “Hey Ram" sung by the youngest singers of Aarohan. The evening then stepped into its first major performance segment named "Mood & Raag". This segment deftly showed the deep connection between human moods and Hindustani Raagas. It presented a collection of 6 ragaas, with its technical details, the colors that it is associated with and most interestingly, each of them depicted a distinct human emotion like happiness, anger, romance, loneliness and so on. What made this segment even more visual was the recital of the actual composition accompanied by a classical Kathak dancer who acted out the expressions beautifully. Following this segment was “Raag Rangeela", that brought out the distinct personalities, demeanor and temperament of ragas and demonstrated how colorful they can be, when used as foundations for composing semi-classical songs. This segment saw some of the famous Bollywood songs like “Chaiya Chaiya" performed along with a song from King of Pop, Michael Jackson's original score.
The second half of the performance was highlight of the evening as the audience experienced the performance of renowned Grammy Award Winning, Padma Bhushan and Sangeet Natak Academy awardee, the great Mohan Veena Player Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Pandit Ji was ably accompanied on the Tabla by Aditya Kalyanpur, Tabla Maestro and disciple of Ustad Allah Rakha Khan Saheb.
This recital also shone a light on the power of women as the audience welcomed Charlotte's first African American Mayor, Vi Lyles, as the Chief Guest for the evening. Mayor Lyles distributed "Student of the Year" awards and other accolades to the deserving students and their parents. It was a star studded evening with some of the most influential women in Charlotte making an appearance at this event. Mayor Vi Lyles was accompanied by Council Woman Dimple Ajmera, Deputy city manager Sabrina Joy-Hogg and CEO of Charlotte Symphony Ms.Mary Deissler.
The recital also gave an opportunity and platform to local businesses to display their wares to Charlotte's patrons. Last but not the least, as in every year, Aarohan's recital was also a fund raiser for the charitable organization CRY. All proceeds from the show go towards this noble cause.
All in all, a mesmerizing evening that whisked away its patrons to the magical world of music and returned them back with the promise that it'll be back again next year with more!
