Trained in Hindustani classical music and Gurmat Sangeet by music stalwarts Pandit Ganesh Parshad and Prof Tara Singh, the Patiala-based vocal maestro commenced his recital with the exposition of raga Puriya Kalyan through a symbolic alaap and slow paced composition ‘ Kaise Samjhaun’ besides a medium and fast bandishes ‘Rasia bulave’ and ‘Toh pe vaar doongi’. — OC
