The” Tarz Group” is a group of well known classically trained musicians who have been performing all over the country for the past few years. They have made a name for themselves in the classical music industry and have held a series of highly successful concerts. They are held a concert titled “Enchanted Notes” at the arts council in Karachi.
The performance which was scheduled to start at 8pm, faced a half an hour delay due to the traffic congestion caused by the VIP movement across the city but the musicians made up for it by creating absolutely enchanting music.
The Tarz Group, led by tabla player Yousuf Kerai consists of an interesting lineup with classically trained musicians weaving the sounds of the eastern classical tradition working with western styles of music.
The group featured members of the Senia Gharana, Ustad Sajid Hussain and his son Shehroze Hussain on Sitar with the latter also serving as the primary vocalist of the band. Islamuddin Meer, the violinist of the orchestra, also composed all the musical pieces for the evening.
Other musicians included Asif Imam on keyboards, Ashiq Ali on Dholak, Kishwar Allah Ditta on bass guitar and Zohaib Hassan on tabla. Renowned tabla player Ustad Khurshid Hussain and singer-musician Hussain Dossa were featured in one performance each.
