Taal - Vadya Spardha Details

Select Year

Through Maestro's Lens

Please accept my heartiest congratulations to Saptak for completing 24 glorious years. Abbaji, We and his family have been connected with Saptak from its inception. As a teaching institute, Saptak's contribution to the world of music has been significant. The Saptak festivals over the years have been organised with a lot of finesse and dedication. It is very nice to see young artistes getting a platform to perform for these festivals. The senior artists performing for these festivals becomes a source of inspiration for these young and upcoming musicians. My heartiest compliments and best wishes to Saptak members for the success of its 'Silver Jubilee' year celebrations.- Zakir Hussain
