The award, named after the theory of literature Sahityarth, a book published half-a-century ago, has been constituted to mark the100th birth anniversary of eminent writer Sant Singh Sekhon.
On this occasion, prominent literary figures would present their papers on Sant Singh Sekhon’s literary contribution.
“Madan Gopal Singh has been chosen for this award because of his contribution to Punjabi Sufi music,” informed Dr Tejwant Singh Gill, associated with organising the function.
As a music director, Dr Madan Gopal Singh has worked for the acclaimed Indo-Pak French production — Khamosh Pani — besides writing scripts, acting and singing in films. He has also lectured extensively on cinema, art and cultural history in the international fora.
For the city music lovers, Madan Gopal Singh would also be presenting a live concert at Punjabi Bhawan on May 29. This would be his third performance in the city in a short period of a year. During his earlier performances — one a solo and another to accompany acclaimed Bharatnatyam dancer Navtej Johar — were much appreciated by the city audience.
