Kalapriya and Columbia College Chicago launch their first collaboration at the Sherwood Recital Hall on Michigan Ave in the South Loop.

Join us to celebrate the iconic singer Lata Mangeshkar whose music dominated South Asia for most of the 20th century!

Dr. Shastri Swaminathan will narrate the story of her life through the decades and present the specially curated playlist created in 2019 to commemorate her ninetieth birthday. Chicagoland singers, Ms. Tara Swaminathan, Ms. Hera Mobashir and Ms. Amira Mohammed will sing the songs accompanied by Puranlal Vyas on Tabla and Mahavir Upadhyay on keyboard. 

Born in 1929 and performing from the tender age of 9, Lata Mangeshkar’s career spanned over eight decades! She sang in over 36 languages and created countless recordings. In 1974, the Guinness Book of Records stated that she had already recorded more than 25,000 solos, duets and chorus backed songs!
