Spic Macay North Convention Programme

Recently I attended the Spic Macay North Convention programme at DPS Ludhiana. This was a novel experience for me. I went there with my school teachers and friends representing, The British Co-Ed High School. I gladly attended the Tabla Workshop of Mr. Abhishek Mishra. Our whole group enjoyed it very much. There were two duet performancers; Sitar that was played by Pt. Gaurav Mazumdar followed by tabla. Another duet was by Hindustani vocalist Pt. Harish Tiwari. We also attended the Bharatnatyam show by Vid. Ragini Chandershekar. There was an excellent arrangement of food and stay. In the morning there was a yoga programme at 5 o’clock. We learnt many new yoga postures and we learnt pranayam from Pt Harish Tiwari. On the second day of the Tabla workshop, we learnt many taals like teen taal etc. As a first timer, I performed reasonably well at Tabla. There were many other workshops like classical vocal, kathak, calligraphy etc. At the end, we listened to Rajasthani folk music. The concert was being followed by Dholak, Harmonium, and many musical instruments performance. I am truly indebted to school for this musical extravaganza.
