Music lovers in Newbury are in for a cultural treat this spring as the town prepares to host An Evening of Indian Classical Music on Tuesday, 13 May at the Corn Exchange, located in the heart of Market Place, Berkshire RG14 5BD. This special concert is part of the renowned Newbury Spring Festival 2025, a celebration of world-class music and the arts.
The evening will be headlined by two of India’s most celebrated classical musicians – Debasmita Bhattacharya, an accomplished sarod virtuoso, and Kousic Sen, an internationally respected tabla maestro. Together, they promise to transport the audience on a mesmerising journey through the intricate rhythms and soulful melodies of Indian classical music.
Debasmita Bhattacharya, known for her emotive playing and technical brilliance, represents a new generation of sarod players who are bridging the traditional with the contemporary. Her performances are deeply rooted in the Hindustani classical tradition, yet they resonate with global audiences. Accompanying her on tabla, Kousic Sen brings unmatched energy, precision, and expressive depth. With decades of experience and collaborations around the world, Sen’s rhythm adds dynamic layers to every performance.
