Shounak Abhisheki has had the privilege of training with his father, maestro Jitendra Abhisheki, and Kamal Tambe, thus acquiring various hues of both Agra and Jaipur gharanas. He continues to follow his father’s style with renditions of classical as well as semi-classical and devotional forms, and also participates in cross-genre productions with internationally acclaimed artistes.

Having initiated into music by her mother, Usha Pandit, Devaki Pandit has trained under doyens of various gharanas: Vasantrao Kulkarni, Kishori Amonkar, Jitendra Abhisheki and Babanrao Haldankar. Over the past four decades, she has had experience of performing varied genres across classical, semi-classical and devotional music, in addition to singing under the baton of several music directors for Hindi and Marathi films.

In this recital, Shounak Abhisheki and Devaki Pandit will present some compositions of khayal, dadra, bhajan and natyageet composed by the eminent singer-composer Jitendra Abhisheki.

Sajan Mishra had the privilege of training with his legendary grandfather, Bade Ramdas, father, Hanuman Prasad Mishra, and also his uncle, the sarangi virtuoso, Gopal Prasad Mishra. A recipient of several prestigious awards and accolades, his lyrical yet dynamic style of rendering khayal represents the distinct idiom of Banaras gharana.

As son and disciple of Sajan Mishra, Swaransh Mishra represents the sixth generation of Banaras gharana. Besides being a proficient vocalist, he is also a skilled song-writer, composer and orator.

Sajan and Swaransh Mishra will present select compositions of khayal, tarana and tappa created by the stalwarts of Banaras gharana: Bade Ramdas, Chhote Ramdas and Nanak Prasad Mishra.
