About

QSMA and Timbeao Planet are proud to present Masters of Khayal with sensational classical vocalist Supriyo Dutta (Kolkata) and 8th generation sarangi master Sangeet Mishra (Mumbai), with top local tabla accompanist Shen Flindell. Shen first introduced Supriyo and Sangeet to each other in 2016 and their incredible chemistry was a highlight of Woodford Folk Festival that year. In the intervening ten years Supriyo and Sangeet have performed together around India and USA, and now they are back to where it all began.
SUPRIYO DUTTA is widely regarded as one of the finest vocalists of his generation in Hindustani classical music, celebrated for his deeply emotive renditions and refined command over a diverse repertoire encompassing khayal, thumri, dadra, and bhajan. His music reflects a rare synthesis of tradition and introspection, resonating with audiences across cultures.
SANGEET MISHRA (SARANGI):
Born into the legendary Mishra family who are of the renowned Banaras Gharana, Sangeet Mishra is an 8th generation sarangi player.
Sangeet has created a distinctive individuality to his playing. Through his innovations as a musician he has succeeded in blending contemporary musical thought in playing the sarangi without compromising on its traditional purity and essence. A versatile performer, he is known for his solo recital and successfully collaborating with musicians from different genres across countries.
SHEN FLINDELL (TABLA) Since being initiated into the Benares Gharana of tabla by Pt Ashutosh Bhattacharya in 1994, Shen Flindell has grown to become one of Australia's leading tabla players. He is the accompanist of choice for Indian classical artists visiting Brisbane, and also performs in fusion groups such as Tibet2Timbuk2. He is best known for his beautiful sound and supportive accompaniment. In 2019 Shen instigated the founding of Queensland Sangeet Mela Association (QSMA), to foster the development of Indian classical music in Queensland. Shen loves bringing people together to unite through music, whether it's playing with his many young students or collaborating with top musicians from around the world.
