7:30 pm Maitreyee Chakraborty
Since the tender age of two, Maitreyee Chakraborty has been immersed in the world of music, embarking on a journey of vocal excellence and musical study. Chakraborty is a devoted practitioner of Rabindrasangeet, the musical tradition inspired by the revered poet and Nobel Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore. “Bengali,” she asserts, “is one of the most melodically beautiful languages, a language brimming with depth and subtlety.” Her performances have captivated diverse audiences, sparking a curiosity in many to explore further the works of Tagore. Chakraborty has called Newton her home since 2016. She was a sensation two years ago at the Festival so we are pleased to have her open the festivities.
