New Delhi: The attention span of people may be getting shorter but tabla maestro Bickram Ghosh is confident that Indian classical music will continue to flourish.
“Indian classical music has been a chamber music format and it has been accorded great respect. While it does need the youth to participate to enjoy the wonderful intercession of this form, classical music is here to stay, that’s something we need to understand,” Ghosh told PTI.
Known for blending classical, Carnatic and western influences into one, Ghosh says Indian classical music is one of the greatest forms ever created in music.
“The attention spans are shorter and people have too many things to do, they don’t necessarily have time to watch a 5 days cricket match or have 3 to 4 hours to listen to a concert.
But, besides this the greatness of the classical music stays. I am awed everyday by the greatness of this form. It is one of the greatest forms ever created in the world of music across the globe.”
