Mitali Bawmik (Vocal)
|
Join us for a morning of mesmerising Hindustani Classical vocal, by Mitali Bhawmik. Artist bio: Mitali Banerjee Bhawmik started her musical training at a very early age from Sri Ajit Dutta, followed by extensive training from Late Shree Biren Phukan in Guahati, Assam. Subsequently she received training from Srimati Meera Banerjee, the noted Kolkata-based vocalist. Since 1984, Mitali was under the tutelage of late Padmabhushan Pandit V. G. Jog, the famous violin maestro. Pandit Jog's vast and extensive experience in the different musical styles and traditions has helped Mitali ji to blend the best of different gharanas in her music, in contrast to sticking to a single traditional gharana style. This has been the essence of Pandit Jog's philosophy in music and training methodology. Currently Mitali ji is expanding her repertoire in semi-classical (Thumri, Dadra, Kajri, Chaiti, Hori, etc.) music from Smt. Dahlia Rahut, a senior disciple of Smt. Girija Devi. She has performed in various prestigious venues in North America, Europe and India and is also the director of Ethnomedia Music Studio, where she trains students of music. |
