Swara Samrat Festival 10th Edition Inaugurated in New Delhi
New Delhi: “Music is life, without music you are incomplete. Music takes you to spirituality and makes a better human being. I extend my heartiest congratulations to Pandit Tejendra Narayan and his complete team on the inauguration of 10th edition of most successful Indian Classical festival today here in New Delhi. The Swara Samrat Festival has added lot of value to Delhi cultural scene,” said Dr. Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah Studios and International Chamber of Media and Entertainment Industry while lighting the ceremonial lamp at Shriram Centre for Performing Arts.
“I also appreciate the gesture of Pandit Tejendra Narayan for remembering his guru Padma Bhushan Ustad Ali Akbar Khan on the completion of his 100th anniversary this year. No creative art especially music can be learned without guru. Indian culture has always given more importance to Guru than the God. I am sure all of us will learn a lot about Indian classical music after the completion of this two-day festival,” added Dr. Sandeep Marwah.
It is our pleasure and honor to present the most upcoming talent of India in Indian Classical Music. It is not only necessary but essential to provide platform to these artists who are of international level and need more exposure in India and abroad,” said Tenendra Narayan Majumdar.
