Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty is a Hindustani classical vocalist, composer, lyricist and an exponent of the Patiala-Kasur gharana. He was given awarded Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award in India in 2020 and Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award in India in 2011. His father, Ajit Chakrabarty, was his first Guru. He has studied under stalwarts such as Jnan Prakash Ghosh, Latafat Hussain Khan, Nibruttibua Sarnaik, Hirabai Barodekar and in Carnatic styles from M. Balamuralikrishna. Despite having such pure classical "taleem" in the Khyal genre, he also renders lighter forms such as Thumri, Tappa, Bhajan, Kirtan, Folk, Film/Non-Film and modern songs, in several different languages.
Gourab Chatterjee is a distinguished harmonium accompanist and Hindustani classical vocalist from India. He began his musical education under his mother, Smt. Ajanta Chatterjee, and after her passing, continued his training with Shri Jainul Abedin. At the ITC Sangeet Research Academy, he studied under the late Pt. Sunil Bose of the Agra Gharana and later under Pt. Arun Bhaduri. His playing style is marked by a deep understanding of raga nuances and a seamless blend of traditional and contemporary expressions, making him a sought-after accompanist in both national and international music festivals
Soumen Sarkar is an accomplished Indian tabla artist, trained under the esteemed Pandit Anand Bodas. His playing style reflects the rich traditions of his training, characterized by intricate rhythmic patterns and a deep understanding of classical Indian music. Sarkar has performed extensively across India and internationally, collaborating with various artists and contributing to the global appreciation of Indian classical music.
