Pandit Arnab Chakraborty | Sarod | Raag BIHAG | Live at The Music Room | London

TMR had the pleasure of hosting Pandit Arnab Chakraborty for a live programme on the 12 October 2024. Tabla Accompaniment: Ustad Shahbaz Hussain. About the artist: One of the top-ranking sarod artists of the current generation, Indo-Canadian musician Arnab Chakrabarty born in 1980, is a consummate performer and teacher of Hindustani instrumental music. Well known for his fine articulation of musical phrases, prodigious imagination, and fidelity to canonical raga forms, Chakrabarty is one of very few Hindustani musicians today who embody commitment to protecting and advancing the art form. He is an erudite custodian of several hundred raga compositions inherited from both the Lucknow and Shahjahanpur lineages of sarod music. Arnab has had his training under three major representatives of the Shahjahanpur Gharana of sarod music, Dr Kalyan Mukherjea, Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta and Ustad Irfan Muhammad Khan. He has also benefited from vocal training under the late maestro of the Gwalior Gharana, Pandit Yeshwantbua Joshi. #hindustaniclassicalmusic #sarode #hindustaniclassicalinstrumental
