The Musical Journey of Rabindranath Tagore

Presented by Reba Som

Chair: Shri Suresh Goel

Despite having bunked school and formal training, Tagore imbibed multiple cultural influences and his music is a rich amalgam of classical Indian and western, folk, and regional musical styles. The talk will also explain why Rabindrasangeet remains relevant today and why to many it assumes the form of a personal religion
