The evening of Saturday, October 21, 2006 came alive for the Bengali song enthusiasts of New York Capital Region with a splendid performance from the legendary maestro Dr. Anup Ghosal who was accompanied in Indian percussion by his long-time accompanist Mr. Asim Sengupta. To the captived audience the duo were in their top form. Some of his songs from the 60's and 70's that Dr. Ghosal presented to us now, sounded even better in this live performance. The eloquence with which Utsav member Mr. Pradip Mukhopadhyay, an accomplished singer himself, introduced Dr. Anup Ghosal and Mr. Asim Sengupta only seemed befitting such a memorable show. The melodious performance was followed by a sumptuous dinner for all.  Although we cannot thank Dr. Ghosal and Mr. Sengupta enough for such a memorable and enchanting evening, our sincere thanks also go out to all volunteers and members of UTSAV and the milieu of enthusiastic and supportive audience but for whom this event could not have been such a grand success.
