ABOUT SANGEET:
Born into a musical family from Varanasi, Sarangi maestro Sangeet Mishra carries the legacy of an ancient musical tradition - as 8th Generation Sarangi player his mastery of this instrument, so deeply connected to the human voice, evokes emotions that transcend words.
Originally trained in vocals, he began learning sarangi from his maternal grandfather, Pandit Bhagwan Das Mishra and his beloved father Pandit Santosh Mishra. With a long lineage of Sarangi players before him, he is firmly rooted within the ancient traditions of Classical Indian Music.
Hearing Sangeet's sarangi music is a delight, and not only due to his extraordinary talent, but because of the kindness and wisdom he brings as a person.

He is a highly acclaimed Hindustani classical vocalist and composer based in Kolkata, renowned for his renditions of khayal, thumri, dadra, and bhajan.
