Prepare to be captivated by the soulful strings of Yadnesh’s Violin with Amit’s Tabla as they weave magic on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 7:30 PM EST.
At a time when most children are just beginning to talk or walk, Yadnesh embarked on his musical journey with the Violin at the tender age of two, and performing his first concert by four! Blessed with the guidance of his father, the renowned violinist SwarPradnya Pandit Milind Raikar, Pandit Arun Kashalkar, and the legendary ‘Violin Chakravarthy’ Vidwan Dr. L. Subramaniam, Yadnesh has also been inspired and guided by the illustrious Padma Vibhushan Gana Saraswati Kishori Amonkar Ji from the Jaipur Gharana.
Under the tutelage of his father and mentor, Yadnesh explored various musical genres, enriching his musical landscape while remaining rooted in Indian Classical Music. Today, we are privileged to witness his remarkable versatility on stage. His innovative approach to making Indian Classical Music more accessible and engaging for the youth, while preserving its core essence and values, is both inspiring and enchanting.
Amit Kavthekar, a remarkable Tabla maestro, embarked on his musical journey under the guidance of the legendary Ustad Allah Rakha. His continuous pursuit of knowledge with the iconic Ustad Zakir Hussain deepens his mastery of a wide array of Tabla compositions, transforming his performances into a vibrant celebration of rhythm and creativity.
