Kolkata, July 12 (IBNS): Sohini Roychowdhury's presentation of Thumri from the Benaras Gharana  was highly appreciated by the audience attending the Thumri Festival held recently.

Among the guests at the event held in Chowdhury House was Pandit Vijay Kichlu and Abin Chowdhury.

Sohini Roychowdhury began with a Misra Khamaj Thumri followed by rendition of Deewana Kiye Shyam in Raag Charukeshi.

Her next presentation was Jhoola Dheere se Jhulao in Raag Majh Khamaj, which was followed by Savariya Pyara Re Mori Gudiya, a very old Dadra composition in Raag Piloo.

The finale was a Kajri (monsoon song) in Raag Deshmalhar, 'Savan Mase Aayo Sajani' depicting the onset of monsoon.

She was supported by Babu Bardhan on harmonium and Surojit Saha on tabla.

Sohini is a classical vocalist who trained under Pandit A. Kanan and Ustad Sagiruddin Khan in Kirana Gharana.

She also received training in Thumri, Dadra, Kajri, Hori, and other semi-classical forms from Dalia Rahut of Benaras Gharana.

Sohini is a niece of famous singer and music composer, R. D Burman.
