ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Pandit Nayan Ghosh
Pandit Nayan Ghosh is universally praised as being unique in the world of North Indian music. It is exceptional that he is recognized as a master for his solo and accompaniment skills on the tabla, as well for his mastery of ragas on the sitar. It is rare for a musician to achieve such a degree of skill that he can perform with either instrument.
On the sitar, Nayan Ghosh seeks the deep and true spirit of the raga. His technique is perfect and his sense of nuance and form is as highly developed. The way he plays the tabla is equally enchanting, and earns him a place at the top of his profession. He has been praised by other musicians no less than Ravi Shankar, Yehudi Menuhin, Vilayat Khan, the legendary tabla master Ahmedjan Thirakwa and many others. His tabla solos draw from an enviable repertoire of the Farukhabad, Delhi, Ajrada, Lucknow and Punjab schools.
Ramesh Mishra
Mastering over one of the most difficult unique string instruments ‘ Sarangi’, Ramesh Mishra is today acclaimed as an outstanding artist of India. Son of great sarangi maestro Pt. Ramnath Mishra, Ramesh started his initial intensive training at very tender age from his father and acquired further knowledge and training from finest musicians of Benaras Gharana Pandit Hanuman Prasad Mishra and late Pandit Gopal Mishra. Presently Ramesh is under the tutelage of the legendary maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar.
Ramesh’s high aesthetic sense, and artistic sensibilities along with his inner soft nature gave recognition both in home and aboard as an eminent soloist as well as an adept accompanist. His perfect restrained tuneful music enthralled the global audience. Besides a recipient of India’s most prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi Puraskar (Akademi Awards) for the year 2008 for his outstanding contribution in the field of music (sarangi), Pt. Ramesh Mishra also received of Sangeet Natak Award of Uttar Pradesh 1992, honored with Geetanjali, Uttam, Dishari Award, Jhadhu Bhatta award from West Bengal in 2007 and various other awards from different musical organizations. In 1959 Ramesh was sent as a cultural delegate to Pakistan by late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India. Both as soloist and accompanist, Pandit Ramesh Mishra traveled all over the world accompanying internationally reputed artists. In addition he has produced numerous recordings including his own solo records and earned a niche in the hearts of millions of music lovers. Mr. Mishra’s creativity and imagination along with his profound knowledge of Indian classical, folk and light music and his vast experience of music performance and recording is worth mentioning. He is an asset to the music world and his mesmerizing melodies produced by his sarangi can be heard in many music productions including Ravi Shankar’s ‘live in Kremlin’ and the Grammy nominated album ‘Legacy’ produced by the legendary Ali Akbar Khan. He was also a participating artist in the production of the “Concert for George” at Royal Albert Hall in London, November 2002. Pandit Mishra is one of the recording artist in AeroSmith’s much acclaimed album ” Nine Lives “.
