Sandip Chatterjee with Kousic Sen

Discover the soulful sounds of Indian classical music in the intimate setting of the Music Room. 

At the heart of the evening is the santoor—a magnificent, hundred-stringed hammered dulcimer played with breathtaking dexterity by Sandip Chatterjee, a recipient of the President of India Award. Its rippling, bell-like tones fill the space, offering a genuine sense of calm and reflection. 

Sandip is joined by Milap’s Artist in Residence and master of the tabla, Kousic Sen. Kousic’s energetic and spontaneous rhythmic mastery adds a vibrant pulse that perfectly balances the delicate melodies of the santoor. Together, the musicians create a brilliant musical dialogue that moves from quiet reflection to thrilling, high-energy crescendos. Whether you are an Indian music aficionado or looking to experience something entirely new, this performance promises to be an uplifting and deeply moving experience.
