In October 2019, at the age of 22 Rishabh Seen became the Youngest & the First Sitar Player ever to headline Saarang 2019 night of Confluence Festival at the Jubliee Hall in association with SPIC MACAY, @NITKurukshetra

As the curtain opened, Rishabh Seen was welcomed with a thunderous applause which was a testimony to the Sitar Player prowess & popularity at that time. In a musical culture & industry dominated by Singers, Rappers & Pop artists, rarely is a Sitar player received by the audiences especially young audiences. Such fandom was unheard & unachieved for a young Sitar player in 2019, before the Instagram reels era.

Rishabh Seen performed Bharatiya Shastriya Sangeet by presenting a traditional Sitar Vadan in Raga Gawati, accompanied by Mohandeep Bawra on Tabla. That day was one of the many such days to come when Rishabh Seen brought one of his lifetime goals to life - to make Sitar, Instrumental Music & Bharatiya Shastriya Sangeet 'cool', acceptable & longed for by the young generation of India.

Rishabh Seen achieved this moment that day by a pure traditional Sitar Vadan that day not by any kind of fusion, which is a rare feat. The Sitar recital concluded to a standing ovation.

Rishabh Seen documentary on YouTube showcases how this performance ended with the crowd chanting 'Once More'.

After an hour of enthralling Bharatiya Shastriya Sangeet Vadan, the crowd refused to let Rishabh Seen go without playing more & started chanting 'Once More, Once More'. It was one of those surreal moments where a young Sitar player managed to make the crowd filled with young generation suddenly fall in love with an often ignored & sidelined musical art-form like Bharatiya Shastriya Sangeet, especially Vādya Sangeet (Instrumental Music).

That day Rishabh Seen brought one of his lifetime goals to life - to make Sitar, Instrumental Music & Bharatiya Shastriya Sangeet 'cool', acceptable & craved for by the young generation of India. Rishabh Seen achieved this moment that day by a pure traditional Sitar Vadan that day, not by any kind of fusion, which is a rare feat.
