Satyajit Ray and the music he lived by

Illustrated lecture by Biswajit Mitra, senior IT professional living and working in Munich, Germany

Chair: Dr. Partho Datta, Professor, School of Arts & Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University 

The talk will explore Ray’s world of music, the music he grew up with. The music he loved, lived and the music he consumed, digested and internalised to create an uniquely distinctive brand of background score for his own films and for a handful of films by a few others.

This lecture is part of the ongoing series of programmes to celebrate the centenary year of Satyajit Ray, legendary filmmaker, writer, illustrator and music composer
