Padma Bhushan Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty, a leading exponent of Hindustani classical vocal music, presented a live concert in Gaithersburg, Maryland, on 19 April 2026 as part of the Pt. Ajoy Chakrabarty Concert Series. The event took place at Watkins Mill High School, a community venue in the Washington DC–Maryland–Virginia region that regularly hosts cultural programs and public events.

The concert featured Gourab Chatterjee on harmonium, Soumen Sarkar on tabla, and Meher Paralikar providing supporting vocals. Known for his expressive raga interpretation and extensive repertoire, Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty’s performances often explore traditional khayal presentation alongside semi-classical and devotional compositions, reflecting the rich musical heritage of the Hindustani classical tradition.

Organized by Para Share Entertainments, the event formed part of a multi-city North American tour that included performances in regions such as the San Jose Bay Area and Atlanta. The Gaithersburg concert began at 6:00 PM with an approximate duration of 150–180 minutes, presenting audiences with an extended evening of Indian classical vocal music rooted in the traditions of the Guru–Shishya parampara.
