Doha: Two famous artistes with international recognition will perform at Katara Cultural Village on Friday.

India’s Grammy Award winner Padmabhooshan Pandit Viswa Mohan Bhatt and Grammy Award nominee Maestro Shashank will perform a Unison of Strings and Wind - a jugalbandhi - at the Drama Theatre (Hall 6) from 6 pm.

The event will mark the launch of “Beats and Tunes Events”, a company owned by a leading Qatari businesswoman Noora Mannai and an Indian National Varshini Gopal.

Pandit Viswa Mohan Bhatt is one of the few greatest musicians of our times who have contributed immensely to popularize the Indian classical music all across the globe. His contribution is more significant as he has created a new instrument, Mohan-Veena, which has given a new scope and possibility for a mellifluous fusion of Indian classical and western music.

Maestro Shashank is a Grammy nominated exponent of the Flute.

Today, Pandit Viswa Mohan Bhatt and Maestro Shashank’s performance will be accompanied by Amita Dalal on Sitar, Patri Satishkumar on Mridangam and Himanshu Mahant on Tabla.
