The story

Jatiya Rabindra Sangeet Sammelan in Dhaka

The Jatiya Rabindra Sangeet Sammelan gathers performers from branches across Bangladesh for two days of Tagore song recitals, competitions and seminars at Dhaka's National Theatre Hall, organized annually by a parishad founded in 1979. It is the country's national convention devoted to Rabindra Sangeet, the songs of Rabindranath Tagore.

The Jatiya Rabindra Sangeet Sammelan has run every year since 1979, organized by the Jatiya Rabindra Sangeet Sammelan Parishad, a body that today counts more than 700 affiliated artistes spread across 82 branches around the country.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The organizing parishad has run this sammelan continuously since 1979 and now spans 700-plus affiliated artistes across 82 regional branches, making it a nationwide organizational convention as much as a concert

02

The mystery stays covered

The program combines song and dance recitals with music competitions and seminars on Tagore's musical legacy, a mix rarely found at a standard concert

03

The city starts moving

Past editions have explicitly framed the event around Bengali musical heritage broadly, including Nazrul Sangeet and the Panchakabi poets, rather than Tagore's songs in isolation
