It was indeed an evening to cherish for a packed audience of music lovers, parents and guardians, who were held spellbound by a stimulating cultural show at the Dr. Banikanta Kakati Auditorium of Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra, Guwahati on 16 July, 2023.

Like the previous years, the students of the Murchana Music Education Centre captivated audiences with their vocal and instrumental music performances of Assamese, Hindi and western music.


Since the year 2000, Murchana Music Education Centre has been providing a dedicated training course to a number of learners of all age groups in both online and offline modes, offering lessons in guitar, piano, keyboard, violin, vocal music, tabla, etc.


Affiliated to Musicea Arts and Culture Council, the music institute caters to the widest range of courses in Indian and western music taught by its dedicated teacher and principal Hiranya Kalita and his better-half Barnali Kalita. The music couple is devoted to cultivating students with a integrated approach to music which promotes competency and interest, and also strives to provide practical experience to students with regular opportunities to perform on the stage.

On the occasion, the state’s noted philanthropist Debojit Borkakati along with Hiranya Kalita lighted the traditional lamp and paid floral tributes to the portraits of renowned artists Sudakshina Sharma and Rishiraj Sharma.


It was an evening that showcased a number of budding artistes weaving magic with their skilful interpretations of various songs on guitar, keyboard, piano and violin in addition to vocal music. The cultural programme began with a chorus, sung by the students together with some parents, decorated with lyrics, tunes and music by Hiranya Kalita, the institute principal. It was followed by Ananyashree Baruah’s Sattriya dance, Ayan Kalita’s piano rendition of ‘My heart will go on’, Rahul Sen’s vocal rendition of Aapurba Bezbaruah’s popular song ‘Kopou Pahi Ture Khupat’, Chonee Kalita playing ‘See you again’ on piano, Jarnav and Mayank Chakrabarty’s piano rendition of ‘Kaagaz ke do pankh leke’, Nikunj Bawri performing ‘Gori Tera Gaon Bada Pyara’ on guitar, Dheemanta Kumar Baruah performing Dr Bhupen Hazarika’s classic ‘Manuhe Manuhar Babe’ on guitar, Aymen Asman Ali rendering ‘Chhuu kar, mere man ko’, Devanuj Gogoi playing the immensely popular ‘Porichoy Bihin Jajabar Nogori’ on piano, which kept the audience spellbound. It’s the kind of popular music that surrounds the students daily on their own instrument!
After that, the duo of Sumanshree Das and Pragyashree Nath performed ‘Yeh Sham Mastani’ on violin, followed by a number of violin players performing the song ‘Ek pyar ka nagma hai’ collectively.
