"I have a couple of performances coming up. With live concerts picking up slowly, Bhagwat is looking forward to meeting her audience in different cities. Of course, the audience is larger and more receptive to fusion, no doubt." "I do enjoy collaborating on interesting projects across genres, provided the musical content can be enriched in the process. Though she has not been part of many fusion projects, the sitar player feels that if it it creates good synergy and elevates the music, it can is great. Hence, I feel it is very important to have more and more funding to support the musicians and in creating platforms to spread the reach of this music and take it to more people." "An artist can be expected to deliver his/her best, only when he is not worried about meeting basic needs. Missing live performances, especially the chance to interact with audience which resonates to her music, she smiles, "After all, it is called performing art for a reason."īhagwat, who will be part of HCL's 'Baithak' on October 29 feels that like HCL, more corporates need to understand their responsibility towards the preservation of art and culture.

I also see that the live concerts are starting back slowly, so I feel the hybrid of physical and online medium is probably a viable option in the given times." "The medium is here to stay - in music as in most other human endeavours. She also feels that digital concerts are here to stay even when things open completely. In this sense, the lockdown was not bad, I could harness my creative side in a different way." Yes, there was a feeling of being tied down initially, but I took it as an opportunity to focus on giving back through online workshops etc. I tried to think of other dimensions of music like composing and collaborating. "Thankfully, I could adapt to that period with a different approach - of practicing and working on different aspects of my music. He would harness a student's own creativity and work towards extracting their own individual style, thus making sure that each of the students developed their own sound and individuality in their music."Įven as the lockdowns owing to the pandemic killed all live performances, Bhagwat says that it is complete serenity and communion with music that ensured she passed that phase without frustration. His teaching style was very unique and reflected his uncompromising quest for excellence while being patient and deeply empathetic with each student.

Interestingly, her teacher, Pandit Bimalendu Mukherjee, was also a well-known Geologist who contributed immensely towards the growth and development of Bhilai Steel Plant and the surrounding region both industrially and culturally. The refined subconscious bond with it takes me through the journey of unfolding each raga - expressed purely at the moment, as a dialogue with the sitar," she says, adding that her performances riyaz are a constant contemplation. For me, the sitar is the perfect instrument to actualize this experience. To be able to traverse ragas while connecting with the audience is a beautiful journey in itself. With music being part of Bhagwat's upbringing considering her father plays the violin and uncle the sitar, who gifted her his instrument when she was nine-years-old, the musician recalls, "And in that spontaneous gesture, I feel the sitar chose me.
