Artist Club Ltd. will host a special edition of its weekly cultural programme “Iconic Tuesday”, featuring an exclusive solo flute recital by renowned Bangladeshi classical flautist and Ekushey Padak recipient Ustad Azizul Islam.
The programme will take place on Tuesday, 15 September 2026, at 7:30 PM at the _Artist Club Lounge in Banani, Dhaka, bringing together members of the cultural community, invited guests and members of the diplomatic and media communities for an intimate evening celebrating Bangladesh’s classical musical heritage.
Ustad Azizul Islam stands among Bangladesh’s distinguished practitioners of Hindustani classical flute. His musical journey spans more than six decades and is remarkable not only for his dedication to music but also for his unusual professional life.
Before becoming widely recognised as a classical flautist, he served as an ocean-going captain. During his years at sea, his flute remained a constant companion.
Artist Club Ltd. describes “Iconic Tuesday” as more than a regular musical programme. It seeks to create an intimate platform for distinguished artists while encouraging appreciation of Bangladesh’s artistic heritage.
The 15 September edition brings together a living master of Bangladesh’s classical flute tradition and an audience representing the country’s cultural, diplomatic and creative communities.
