Singing of music maestros of three generations of various Gharanas reverberated at the place of practice of Sur Samrat Tansen at Gwalior on Sunday. The last music sitting under Tansen Samaroh was held at Tansen’s birthplace at Behat on the banks of Jhilmil river.
On the one hand the emerging musician Prajjwal Shirke who is about 15-year-old, left impact on the audience and on the other 90 years old eminent classical singer Pt Shriram Marathe’s presentation left the audience spell-bound. Khayal singing of 50 years old Janab Zameer Hussain Khan was also praiseworthy. Presentation on Kalashri chorus of instruments was also made.

In the same Rag Ramchandra Kripalu Bhaju Manu Haran Bhavbhay Darunm was rendered in ‘Teen Taal’.
