The auditorium was filled to capacity with some listeners standing to hear their favourite songs. There were also people gathered outside the auditorium, straining their ears to catch a note of the melodic voices that floated beyond the auditorium.

The function began with a combined performance by the artistes in their opening song, He Notun. Tuheen Azizur Rahman sang Tomar hather rakhikhani bandho with a depth of voice that won him a loud round of applause from the 300 plus audience. Aditi Mohsin with her melodious voice sang Bujhechhi ki bujhi nai in taal Kaharba. Pran-e khushir toofan uthechhe was performed by ATM Jahangir.

Other artists who entertained the audience were Biplobi Kormokar singing Bhubonjora ashonkhani, Shottom Debnath performing Shoda thak anonde, Mrittika Shohita Othoi singing Bipul torongey and Nilufar Jahan rendering Amar mukti aloy aloy, among others. There was another combined performance midway through the programme with the famous song Eedeen aji kono ghore go. The programme ended with Amar shonar Bangla where the artists as well as the listeners sang and stood in unison showing respect to our national anthem.
