Among the hallmarks of Hindustani classical music, it is difficult to find a more elegant yet ground-breaking combination than that given by Vidushi Kaushiki Chakraborty. On Sunday 5 October 2025, at 6 PM the fortunate audiences in Goa will have the rarest priviledge of seeing her life changing concert, Pankh Live, at the historic Ravindra Bhavan, Vasco da Gama. This is not a concert alone. It is a study in music on how heritage, evolution and soul relate in a musical journey whereby there can be elevated passion within the evening.
1. “Pankh Live” — More Than Music, A Metaphor in Motion
Pankh which means wings is not just a name but is a work of art. The record takes the listener through a portrait of Kaushiki and how she evolved as a singer, first and then as a person. Motion in music Pankh Live brings the dimension of motion to the song, taking the listeners along her musical journey as a child to becoming her own writer and singer. This is not a recitation but an immersion concert.
The audience can picture sounds as well as visionary images running alongside her voice, contributing to her expanding self-identity. It is an invitation to witness her metamorphosis not only as a singer, but as a narrator who set out her feathers now.

Ravindra Bhavan is the cultural centre in Goa situated at Vasco da Gama and in the backdrop of the serene Baina Beach, patrons the performing arts in Goa.Hosting pankh live here gives a feel of continuity and unity.

Those who have lived and breathed classical music and those who might be just discovering the Hindustani classical vocal art, this facility will enhance the sensory landscape-place, music and moment blending to be one perfect canvas.
