As we feel, that whole of the Panjab is indebted by the education of Abbaji (Ustad Alla Rakha), we are organizing the “Ustad Alla Rakha Sangeet Sammelan” since 2010 to pay homage to the great maestro. This is an initiative of S. Kulwinder Singh, who is a direct disciple of Khan Sahib. The Sikhya Kendra feels grateful to have him as our Tabla Guru.

The “Ustad Alla Rakha Sangeet Sammelan” Sept 2018 was held at Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Panjab. The memorable day started by seeking blessings of the almighty with recital of Shabad Kirtan from students of the Department of Music. The audience witnessed performances from the following artists.

  • Ustad Dilshad Khan   Sarangi
  • Shikhar Naad Qureshi   Djembe
  • Dipesh Varma    Djembe
  • Mukta Raste   Tabla
  • Ashupreet Kaur   Classical Vocal
  • Surjeet Singh   Tabla
  • Ragjot Singh   Djembe
  • Students of Pardeep Singh   Tabla  

Satwinder Pal Singh (Sarangi), Rabab Singh (Tabla), Sarabjit Singh Shibhu (Harmonium), Tilak Raj Singh (Tabla), Sandeep Singh (Dilruba), Daljeet Singh (Harmonium) were the accompanying artists.

Always having a fascination for music is what that brings all the students and music lovers to our concerts every year. We are humbled by the responses from everyone. For those who weren’t able to be a part of the concert last year, here we have some snaps and clips to give you a short glimpse of the day.
