EDITION 2023

“Gaana Saraswati Mahotsav”, a Classical Music festival organised by Natyasampada Pratishthan enters into its 9th edition planned for March 4 and 5, 2023.

As we all are inching towards normalcy after the global pandemic, we believe that music and art have the power to heal and provide comfort, solace, and positive energy and this and other events we would be planning are our small contributions in that effort.

The event has been named after Gaana Saraswati Padma Vibhushan Smt. Kishori Amonkar to honour and celebrate her contribution in the field of Indian Classical Music. This event is a tribute to this legendary and phenomenal artiste who with her lifelong pursuit of music and complete dedication to the art, not only carved a niche for herself but also created a new path for others to follow.

Natyasampada Pratishthan was founded in 2006 by late Shri. Prabhakar Panshikar, the legendary actor and producer of the Marathi theatre. Our objectives include research and promotion of Theatre, Sanskrit Literature, and Indian Classical and other music. Our goals also include spreading the rich culture of Indian arts and music to the masses including the young generation.

Besides the performances, this edition will also feature the following :

Felicitation of Dr. Alka Deo Marulkar with the "Gaanatapaswini Mogubai Kurdikar Puraskar" which we started in 2015, for her exemplary contribution in Classical Vocal Music as an accomplished artiste and a teacher.

Felicitation of Pandit Omkar Gulvady with the "Gaanasaraswati Kishori Amonkar Sangatkar Puraskar" which we started in 2015, for his exemplary contribution in Classical Music as an accomplished Tabla Accompanist and a teacher.
