Ustad Azizul Islam’s flute performance

A discussion meeting and flute recital organised by Dhaka Officers Club was held at the Club Auditorium at Bailey Road in the city recently on the occasion of ‘Elders’ Day.’

Titled of the discussion was ‘Elders Role in Development of Tourism,’ which was followed by classical flute recital by master flute artiste Ustad Captain Azizul Islam.

His performance charmed the audiences with delightful aura of ‘Ragas’ for nearly an hour at the auditorium.

The program started at 7:00pm. Ustad Aziz gave a short description on different ‘Raaga’ before his solo recital that began with his self-styled ‘gaut’ (notes) on raaga ‘Yaman’ in setarkhani taal.

Then he delivered raaga ‘Darbari Kanada’ in ‘Bilambit ektal’ and ‘Druta teentaal,’ raaga ‘Hanswadhoni’ in teentaal, ‘Kirwani’ in daadra and a ‘dhun’ on ‘Mishra Pilu.’ He concluded, as usually with a ‘Bhatiyali Dhun.’ He was accompanied by pundit Bizon Choudhury (in tabla) and Md Jahangir Alam (Tanpura).
