An Evening of Songs by Lopamudra Mitra &
Dance Recital by Nritya Creations
(A Fund Raising Event for Temple Fund)
Lopamudra Mitra, the most popular contemporary singer in Bengal today is
performing in New Jersey this summer!
Daughter of Late, Shree Pranab Mitra and Shreemati Sumita Mitra, she started
learning music from her father in childhood. Ranging from Rabindra Sangeet,
Indian Classical music, Bhajan and Nazrulgeeti, her versatility knows no
bounds. She ultimately found her platform in the songs based on poems of
renowned Bengali Poets. And that was her way to success. She performed all
over India with her new approach and won the music-lovers’ heart.
She won many awards for her unique dramatic style of singing, which is
fashioned with the classical aid and tenor voice quality. She won the prestigious
‘Bengal Film Journalist Award’ on her debut playback in the film ‘Sedin
Chaitramas’. Her album ‘Bhalobaste Balo’ was honoured as the best puja
album, best singer and album of the year in 2001. Her other album ‘Jhor Hole
Par!’ got the ‘ZEE MUSIC AWARD’ in 2005.
The scintillating creative dance performance of Nritya Creations will keep you
spellbound. Nritya Creations is the winner of First Prize in the Senior Category and Best
Choreographer Award at the 2008 Naya Andaz Dance Competition 2008.
Meena Basunag, the founder and Artistic Director of Nritya Creations
artistically blends various styles of Indian Classical dance such as Bharat
Natyam, Oddissi, Manipuri and Kathak with western contemporary forms such
as jazz and ballet and other cultural dance forms to create a unique and
wonderfully pleasing experience of sight and sound. Nritya Creations has also
won the Best Choreography and Best Performance Awards at the 2008 Naach
Revolution.

Few weeks ago, Lopamudra Mitra presented a concert at the Marlboro High School Auditorium at the invitation of the Dakshineshwar Ramkrishna Sangha Adyapeath (DRSA) of New Jersey. She was touring USA at the invitation of the Bangamela 2008 (held in Columbus OH) and before leaving the country, she made a brief visit to New Jersey.
