Mushfiq Arts Company Inc 20th Anniversary Celebration Concert at Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans

September 28, 7:00 PM

Mushfiq Arts School of Music and Visual Arts is celebrating 20 years here in Ottawa.

We invite you to celebrate with us at a special showcase concert on, September 28, 2024, at the Shenkman Arts Centre, in Orleans.

This milestone marks two decades of a musical journey, of performing, teaching, and living in the embrace of the arts for Ustad Mushfiq Hashimi.

It has been a path illuminated by the notes of tradition, the colors of creativity, and the collective heartbeat of our community.

Ustad has had the privilege of nurturing the seeds of creativity, of passing on the wisdom of the Patiala Gharana, and of witnessing the blossoming of countless artists.

Mushfiq is honoured to walk this path, guided by the footsteps of legendary Maestro’s, while keeping the flame of tradition burning bright.

This evening will be more than a concert. It will be an expression of an awakened heart.

Art and music are the tools that can bring peace, empathy, and hope back to the world.

You will be mesmerized by an array of soulful music, Classical Dance and guest musicians from India.

Great Maestro, Sri Ashok Dutta from Kolkata, India, will be performing on tabla.

Mushfiq is honoured and excited to be releasing some of his new compositions at this concert.

There will be an art exhibition, showcasing Mushfiq’s Visual Art and Calligraphy Pieces.

He is a Seventh Generation Calligrapher.

We look forward in sharing this memorable night and milestone moment with you.
