Chhandayan Center for Indian Music presents a Vocal Concert by:

Bidushi Shubhra Guha
With Samir Chatterjee on Tabla
& Smt. Sanjukta Biswas on Harmonium

Subhra Guha is regarded as an exponent of the Agra Gharana. Though belonging to the Agra Gharana, which is synonymous with the prowess and masculinity of Aftab-e-Mousiqui Ustad Faiyaz Khan, what makes Guha's rendition style uniquely different is her mature juxtaposition of her feminine charm with masculine grandeur that's inherent in the Gharana. Guha's voice effortlessly soars from one octave to the next mesmerizing her aficionados across the globe.

Surrender presents "Morning Lotus" (Collections of Morning Raga offered to his Divine Gurudev Nityananda).

A Sitar Concert by Maestro Aloke Dasgupta.

Aloke Dasgupta is among the most outstanding and original sitar players in the North Indian Classical style. With a maturity of style and composition all his own, he draws the memory back nostalgically to the past greats of sitar, while at the same time revealing an awareness of contemporary, international movements, such as jazz, new age and world music. though grounded in the maihar gharana of Allauddin Khan, Aloke has rapidly assimilated phrasing and tonality from other gharanas, to pioneer a versatile originality, which has carved for him a place for himself. Indeed, Aloke has come a long way since beginning his musical training under his uncle at the age of eleven. http://alokedasgupta.com

Guitarist Susmit Sen founder of Indian Ocean in NY for a solo concert.

Susmit Sen, founder and guitarist of India's greatest band, Indian Ocean, is essentially self-taught and has virtually invented a new style of playing guitar. Susmit creates an uncannily Indian sound where purity of scale reigns and strong melodic lines are woven around the drone of open strings. " The purity of scales reign much like the style which forms the basis of Indian classical music. A form, where there is greater freedom of expression through varied note selections yet a disciplinary restriction of never leaving the realm of those notes."

The Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC) proudly presents the internationally acclaimed Bansuri
player Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia in Concert and Subhankar Banerjee on Tabla.

Although he began his musical studies as a vocalist, Pt. Hari Prasad Chaurasia switched to the flute after hearing a performance by Pandit Bholanath a year later. Inspired by what he heard, Chaurasia spent the next eight years studying with Bholanath. He later studied with surbahar player Shrimati Annapurna Devi, the daughter of Ustad Allaudin Khan and the sister of Ali Akbar Khan. With his virtuousic blowing technique, Hariprasad Chaurasia has turned the Bansuri (bamboo) flute into an instrument of beauty.

Subhankar Banerjee was placed under the tutelage of Shri Swapan Shiva of Farukhabad Tabla Gharana and over the years dedicated himself for learning other Gharanas from different maestros. He received awards in his early age from celebrities like Satyajit Ray in the year 1977, Pandit Ravi Shankar in the year 1985 and from President of India in 1987.
