SANGEET MISHRA (SARANGI):
Sangeet Mishra is an eighth-generation sarangi maestro of the legendary Banaras Gharana. Born into one of India’s most esteemed musical lineages, he received his initial training from his grandfather, Pt. Narayan Das Mishra, and was further guided by Pt. Bhagwan Das Mishra and Pt. Santosh Kumar Mishra.
Renowned for reviving the expressive gayaki ang (vocal style) of sarangi playing, Sangeet combines profound traditional mastery with a contemporary musical sensibility. He has performed extensively across India and around the world, earning acclaim for his ability to preserve the purity of classical music while embracing innovative collaborations.
Firmly rooted in Shastriya Sangeet, his work bridges tradition and modernity, bringing the rich heritage of the sarangi to diverse audiences.
Currently based in Mumbai, Sangeet maintains an active performance schedule, travelling throughout India and internationally. He is highly sought after for solo recitals, accompaniment for classical vocal and dance performances, contemporary Indian music projects, and collaborations within the global fusion music scene.

Both the artist will be accompanied in Tabla by Shri Niranjan Deodhar.
Tabla: Shri Niranjan Deodhar
Niranjan was initiated into the world of music at an early age and received his training from Ustad Sher Mohammed Khan of Delhi gharana. He has performed as an accompanist as well as soloist in India, US and Australia, and has recorded for All India Radio and ABC Radio. Over the years he received advanced training under Ustad Zakir Hussain, Ustad Fazal Qureshi, Dr. Aban Mistry and Taal Mani Aditya Kalyanpur.
Niranjan Deodhar’s performances reflect the depth and variety of the Delhi gharana, the oldest school of Tabla, with its emphasis on elaboration through Kaidas and the use of precise strokes of individual fingers as opposed to whole-of-hand strokes. To this rich tradition, Niranjan adds the thrilling gift of layakari (mastery of rhythm) and a rather maverick sense of creativity involving rhythmic patterns that defy mathematics. He experiments with other instruments and genres - pakhawaj, guitar, saxophone - and brings those ideas back to his home ground of Tabla to create conversations in rhythm.
