An enchanting evening with Tagore songs
The stage, decorated with Ganda flowers, a huge portrait of Tagore and green plants all over, had a soothing effect on the on lookers. The second session of the musical programme organised by Bangladesh Rabindra Sangeet Shilpi Shangstha was held on Friday last, to mark the 62nd death anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore. About 90 Tagore artistes performed in the two sessions of the programme.
