Don’t miss Kaushiki Chakraborty in Houston  at the WORTHAM CENTRE on May 13, 2023 at 7:30 pm.

Wortham Theater Center

<h3>Kaushiki Chakraborty, internationally recognized singer, and composer of Hindustani music at the WORTHAM CENTRE on May 13, 2023 at 7:30 pm.</h3><h3>Kaushiki Chakraborty, widely regarded as one of the finest classical vocalists of the modern era, has been hailed as the&quot; torchbearer of the Patiala tradition&quot;. Kaushiki has become one of the first female singers from this tradition to receive international acclaim. The daughter of renowned Indian classical vocalist, Pt. Ajoy Chakraborty, Kaushiki began her musical journey under his tutelage, before the age of two. </h3><h3>While her repertoire covers an array of Hindustani musical forms, Kaushiki draws influences from Carnatic music, and frequently incorporates elements of contemporary Indian pop music. Kaushiki also leads an all-female ensemble called Sakhi that brings together exemplary artists in a stylistically expansive exploration of womanhood in Indian culture.</h3><h3>Kaushiki&#x27;s ability to capture emotions and express them though her fluid vocal style has mesmerized audiences the world over. But above all, the one quality that resonates the most is Kaushiki&#x27;s deep connection with her music which is best described in her own words: &quot;One has to mentally align oneself to the form. My training has taught me two approaches to music - to do music or to become it. The latter gives you the fluidity to transcend form and become one with it:&#x27; The recipient of numerous awards, Kaushiki also received the 2005 BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music in the Asia-Pacific category and the Nari Shakti Puraskar in 2020.  </h3><h3>Accompanying Kaushiki on May 13th in Houston will be Ust. Murad Ali Khan on Sarangi, Sandip Gosh on Tabla and Tanmay Deochake on Harmonium.
