Dear All
Dr. Chandrakant will be performing for a get together of College Women's Association of Japan (CWAJ) on 8th December after their regular year-end luncheon meeting. He will be accompanied by Dineshchandra Dyoundi on Tabla.
It was an interesting story to arrange this performance. About two months back I got mail from Ms. Ikeda of CWAJ, who wanted him to perform on 8th December in the beautiful venue of Tokyo American Club in Takanawa, and give a lecture and demonstration for her members about Indian music. Dr. Chandrakant was scheduled to fly on 8th December to Pune. I requested change of date. But she could not move the date, as the luncheon is last big event of the year. It was a big challenge to change his flight schedule as December is a travelling season out of Japan. But luckily I could rearrang all his bookings and extended a day in his Tokyo schedule. It feels good to perform for same organizer again!!
