For the first time in Montreal, India's leading flutist, the grammy-nominated Pandit Ronu Majumdar will be offering a scintillating concert of Indian music at the prestigious Salle Bourgie. He will be accompanied on percussion by the brilliant young tablist Indranil Mallick. Of Ronu Majumdar the press says:

Ace flutist Pandit Ronu Majumdar has become synonymous with the word ‘bansuri’ (flute). Not without reason, as his portfolio can give a complex to his seniors and contemporaries alike. His collaborative projects include working with ex-Beatle George Harrison, ace guitarist Ry Cooder with whom he worked for the Hollywood film Primary Colours, thereby getting more recognition, and a Grammy nomination for his album, Tabula Rasaa.– Deccan Chronicle, India

Pandit Ronu Majumdar’s fusion music has its many admirers, and his influences range from the Maihar gharana to Mozart, with collaborations with George Harrison, Phillip Glass and many others – The Hindu, New Delhi
