To celebrate 50 years of Bangladesh’s independence, Bengal Foundation organised Srijone O Shekore, a 5-day arts festival, from 14 to 18 December 2021, at Bengal Shilpalay, Dhaka. Supported by BRAC Bank, the festival featured performing arts, visual art, crafts, books, film, readings, and events for children. Over 300 singers-musicians-dancers-craftspersons-artists performed on stage and engaged in various kinds of programming at the festival, over the five days.

A presentation of Rag Desh on the Sitar by students of Bengal Parampara Sangeetlay—Mohammad Kauser, Jahangir Alam, and Sohini Majumdar—enthralled the audience at Ganer Jhornatolay, on the fourth day of the Srijone o Shekore arts festival. The artists were accompanied on the Tabla by Parampara Scholar Prashanta Bhowmick. The Sitar students are currently training under Pt. Kushal Das at Bengal Parampara Sangeetalay.

Bengal Parampara Sangeetalay (BPS) is a programme of the Bengal Foundation which opened its doors in November 2014, to deserving Bangladesh students, to offer free tuition in Indian classical music from internationally renowned teachers under a modern interpretation of the Guru-Shishwa parampara method. The aim is to revive interest in classical music and create the next generation of young masters who will ensure the propagation of an important musical legacy of the sub-continent. The programme has been lauded for its uniqueness, benevolence, and long-term commitment to excellence.
