In 'Unsung Kishori', Panshikar, who is a protégé of Amonkar and Mogubai Kurdikar, unveils unheard compositions. The concert promises to be a unique confluence of music and storytelling. As Panshikar humbly presents Amonkar’s rare compositions, he will weave in personal anecdotes and reflections from his years of training under the legendary artiste. The vocalist's open voice, intricate layakari (rhythmic play), and distinctive taans reflect the Jaipur-Atrauli tradition, while his anecdotes and insights offer a rare glimpse into Amonkar’s world.
