Hindustani Vocal & Sitar Concert

Sun 9 June 2019

The HUB Community Center, Cambourne

Ms. Esha Bandyopadhyay based in Kolkata, India, has emerged as one of the well-known performers of North Indian Vocal Music. Initially trained by her mother Maitreyi Banerji in the early years and later under veteran Guru, Mrs Krishna Dasgupta for three decades, Esha has specialized in Khayal (pure classical music form) and Thumri, Dadra, Bhajan (semi classical forms).

Pandit Partha Bose reached a golden milestone in 2018, completing 50 years of SANGEET SADHANA while being acknowledged globally as a leading contemporary instrumentalist of Indian Classical Music. Trained for 5 decades in the truest traditions of Guru-Shishya-Parampara by revered guru, Pandit Monoj Shankar of SENIA-MAIHAR gharana, Partha ji is credited with a distinct approach to music, reflecting an imaginative synthesis of virtuosity and creativity.

Mr Tathagata Ghose is professionally an economist, but he has been a lifelong student and practitioner of Hindustani classical music. He will be accompanying Esha ji on midi based harmonium in a first for a classical concert.

Mr. Dheeraj Sahai-Mishra is one of the most exciting dynamic young Tabla players of his generation and represents the 7th Generation of the Benares Gharana tradition and has performed with classical, jazz and experimental music in India and Europe. Mishra appears courtesy of PRSSV London.
