IMPRESSION OF TIME: A PAINTING EXHIBITION
Date: 22-29 November
Time: Daylong
Venue: La Galerie, Alliance Francaise
"The impressions one gives to another could greatly influence how one is treated and viewed in many contexts of one's life. In psychology, an impression is an event when one person first encounters another person and forms a mental image of that person.
Impression accuracy varies depending on the observer and the target (person, object, scene, etc.) being observed. These impressions can be nearly impossible to reverse or undo making those encounters extremely important, for they set the tone for all the relationships that follow.
So whether they are in the professional or social life, it is important to know the dynamics of impression. Not only are people quick to form impressions of time, they are also fairly accurate when the target presents himself or herself genuinely."
This is the artist, Md Abdul Guffar Babu's, second solo painting exhibition.

BENGAL CLASSICAL MUSIC FESTIVAL – BANGLADESH 2016
Date: 24-28 November
Time: 7pm – 5am
Venue: Army Stadium
The practice of music in the ancient Indian subcontinent originated from a diverse lineage deeply rooted in spiritual and ethnic traditions. The ancient forms were passed down from one generation to the next and have been upheld by scores of important musicians throughout history – musicians who were patronised by kings, feudal lords, and spiritual leaders, forming the backbone of eastern classical music.
Bengal Foundation, a private trust which started its journey during the late eighties, has been promoting Bengali culture for decades. The Foundation regularly organises events, workshops, and a number of initiatives, in an attempt to nurture the traditions of music in Bangladesh.
Bengal Classical Music Festival, an initiative of Bengal Foundation's Music Programme, is the world's largest classical music festival in terms of the number of performers on a single stage, audience capacity and duration. The festival is a free annual public event with the aim of creating, in the long run, a discerning audience with a taste for quality music. Through these events the Foundation hopes to pave the way for better appreciation and understanding of the fundamentals of music, as well as energize, sensitise, influence, and promote the music industry of Bangladesh.
