Your musical stars will have to be perfectly aligned to witness Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pandit Birju Maharaj, Pandit Dr Ajoy Chakrabarty and Dr Trichy Sankaran perform on one stage for the first time in Mumbai. Kala Sangam, a musical charitable trust, has achieved this unthinkable feat.

Founded in 1973 in Kolkata (then Calcutta) by Bobby Sethi, along with Late Ustad Amir Khan, Kala Sangam has since then worked towards preservation of classical music not just in India but in Pakistan as well. Since 1982, Sethi has been organising yearly Music Summits in Mumbai. “Last year we had a sell out show and this year everyone asked how we were going to raise the bar. This is going to be one of our finest shows with extraordinary musical combinations,” says Sethi, who is also the managing trustee of Kala Sangam.
