Maitrayee Roy and Anirban Roy are a prodigious brother-sister duo and we are so pleased and privileged to hear them perform. Maitrayee started her musical journey at the age of two and half from her mother Smt Chaitali Roy, who is a singer and a disciple of Smt Manjushree Pattanayak, and now she learns from Vidushi Anjana Nath. Maitrayee is a celebrated performer, being awarded the Telegraph Excellence Award in 2019 and winning the solo singing contest organised by TTIS for two consecutive years.  Maitrayee performed in many prestigious platforms of the country.

Anirban started learning flute from his father at the age of four and half, and gave his first public appearance at five in Pt Tanoy Bose's Kal Ke Kalakar programme. He is mainly taught by his father Sri Lokenath Roy, a disciple of Pt Debaprasad Banerjee and Pt Tajendra Narayan Majumder. He also got talim from the Sarod maestro Tejendranarayan Majumdar. 
Anirban got Master Madan Award from Suresh Wadekar ji's academy and got Nada Brahma Award. He received the Sri Shanmukhananda Bharat Ratna MS Subbulakshmi fellowship. Anirban performed on the same dias where the maestros like Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Pt Kumar Bose, Pt Niladri Kumar, Vidushi Kaushiki Chakraborty etc. performed. They both have mesmerised audiences with some magical performances through all parts of India.

Tuhin Karmakar was born in Kolkata in 1976 and from a young age was fascinated by rhythm and music. In his youth he was very close to the Late Pandit Omprakash Mishra and Pandit Birju Maharaj who both had notable influence on these interests. He began training in tabla when he was 5, under the guidance of Sri Tushar Kanti Bose, a disciple of Pandit Gobindo Bose. Shortly after, he got talim from late Prafulla Roy who in turn got talim from late Pandit Nanku Maharaj. After that, he got talim from Sri Sandeep Chatterjee, a disciple of Pandit Swapan Choudhury. Now he studies under the talim of Pandit Swaraj Bhattacharyya, an eminent tabla player of Lucknow Gharana and performs with many renowned artists all over India.
