Partha Bose
Widely acknowledged as a leading contemporary instrumentalist, Partha Bose represents the Maihar Gharana musical tradition famous for producing stalwarts Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan.
Trained on sitar by veteran Guru Pandit Monoj Shankar for 49 years, Bose divides his time between Kolkata and the rest of the world, performing, teaching, lecturing, composing, at reputed venues, including major festivals and well-known universities. The Government of India invited Partha Bose to lead a cultural delegation to African countries on the historic occasion of Golden Jubilee of India's Independence.
Recipient of Nikhil Banerjee Memorial award, Sangeet Ratna and Vadya Alankar titles, Bose visualizes music as that which reminds us of our shared humanity.
