Good
morning/Good afternoon/Good evening my friends, wherever you are! This 9.30pm. 30th
January, 2013, Wednesday in India. How are you doing friends? I’m now totally
fine and you know; who is help me to cure fast? It is the ‘Music’! Yes, you
read correctly; Music! You know, I’m a
music-lover and I can do everything for classical music. When I was in bed, all
the time I enjoyed various music and the urge to hear more music, makes me heal
fast! But, although, I couldn’t join the Dover Lane Music Conference this year; it was too late! It is a
‘music-fair’ where you can cultivate various musicians in a stage. Let me say
something about this magnificent program.
The Dover Lane Music
Conference is an annual Indian classical music festival held in the
month of January at Nazrul Mancha, an open-air auditorium in south Kolkata. The
festival derives its name from the fact that it originally took place at a
location on Dover Lane, an important street in the Ballygunge area of Kolkata.
The festival had humble beginnings in 1952. Music lovers from
the by-lanes of Kolkata used to gather in order to appreciate Indian classical
music recitals. Over time, the festival has undergone many changes. Many
stalwarts of Indian classical music have performed at the festival. The number
of days and the number of artistes performing have increased, and a large
number of sponsors are now associated with the event.
Instead of the original venue on Dover Lane, this annual
event is now organized in the Nazrul Mancha on Southern Avenue. The office of
the organizing body is still at 18/2 Dover Lane. The festival is usually held
between the 22nd and the 25th of January (continuing up to daybreak on the
26th).

It has become one of the most important cultural events of
the year. The festival boasts performances by a number of eminent musicians
from all over the country.
That’s all! Good bye
to you all for today! Take very care of your family and of-course yourselves! Have
a good day/ afternoon/evening/night! Namaskar.
