Pandit Samir Chatterjee, tabla In der Pause hatten wir Gelegenheit zu weiteren sehr informativen Gesprächen im zauberhaften Ambiente des Theater am Faden von Helga Bremme. Im zweiten Teil des Abends, dem reinen Konzertteil, erlebten wir nordindische Tablarhytmen in Vollendung. Ausserdem auch eine ganz besondere Prämiere. Der bereits international sehr bekannte und vielfach ausgezeichnete Schlagzeuger und Perkussionist Bodek Janke wurde das Erste Mal von seinem Tablalehrer Samir Chatterjee zu einem öffentlichen Konzert gebeten. Ingo Anhenn, kurzfristig dazugeladen, begleitete die Darbietung der beiden Tablas mit seiner Sitar sehr gekonnt.
