A crusader in his vision to give a Sri Lankan identity to the sitar, and has to date succeeded with honours, Pradeep Ratnayake will present a concert to celebrate the 54th anniversary of India's Republic Day.
Acknowledged for his creative Pradeepanjalee series of concerts, Friday's concert will feature traditional Hindustani ragas with pakhawaj and tabla interaction, a Sri Lankan sitar composition which Pradeep has expertly arranged for voice, Sri Lankan and Indian percussion. Not to be left out will be his renowned fusion explorations from sitar and other western music instruments. Pradeep Ratnayake will be accompanied by Piyadara Shilpadipathi, Ravibandu, Chandral Amarakoon, Kumara and Rutnam Ratnadurai. |
