Pandit Partha Bose : sitar

The story begins in 1968 when a six-year-old boy from a family of industrialists in Kolkata, India, was initiated to SITAR under GURU Pandit MONOJ SHANKAR of MAIHAR GHARANA - to pursue music as a hobby. Intensive training, rigorous practice & above all, Destiny chalked out his career as a professional musician, who entered the SIXTH DECADE in Life's Journey in January 2022 and enjoys world-wide acclaim.

Music-lovers rejoice as they find the 'Maihar Magic' lives on - beyond Ravi Shankar & Nikhil Banerjee - promising more heart-touching melodies in the years to come.

Performances at major music festivals in all five continents, lecdems & workshops at reputed universities, with students across geographical borders, leave Partha a well-travelled man, rich in experience and a realization - that there is always a lesson to be learnt every day.

Appreciation of discerning listeners, eminent musicians, the NIKHIL BANERJEE MEMORIAL AWARD, SANGEET RATNA & VADYA SHIROMANI titles have come his way - which, he believes, are "constant reminders to strive harder in search of excellence."

Partha Bose looks at Music as a "language of the soul, that reminds us of our shared humanity."
