Career
He served as principal of Visva-Bharati"s Music school, Sangit Bhavana for its opening years. He was the first person who introduce the songs of Tagore as the name of Rabindra Sangeet. Dinendranath was son of Dwijendranath Tagore"s eldest son Dwipendranath, and was born into the culturally rich environment of the Jorasanko Tagore family.
He was particularly well-trained in Hindustani classical music, and many early Rabindra Sangeet renderings in his baritone voice can be found in archives and recordings.
Many are the legends of Rabindranath wandering around looking for Dinu before a particularly haunting tune left his imagination. He was also involved with a number of dance dramas, including a tour performing Taser Desh (Land of cards) to Bombay in 1933.
He also composed the music for the film Natir Puja in 1932.
