alft 0022 her 015 B 18 Dec 2015 Hindustan Times (Delhi) adapted Dr Vinay Bharat Ram @ 80 : releases special music album 2016 ZoomBookmarkSharePrintListenTranslate Octogenarian singer Dr Vinay Bharat Ram is excited to release a collection of his recordings Dr Vinay Bharat Ram has a multifaceted personality. He has successfully managed to balance his profession as well as passion. A renowned Indian classical singer, Vinay hails from the family of industrialists and currently holds the chairmanship of the DCM group. But his love for music cannot be regarded as a hobby. He has dedicated himself to the art and has reached the height only after decades of practice and hard work. A few years back, kathak exponent Uma Sharma floated the idea of gathering the recordings of my concerts. When others also suggested the same, I decided to go ahead with it. Indian classical music is rich and it can be easily understood and learnt if we open our hearts to it. Modern music has its own set of followers. I feel there is a perfect harmony between the two. Dr VINAY BHARAT RAM, classical musician The Vasant Vihar resident developed his vocal skills under the tutelage of maestros like Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Annapurna Devi (daughter of legendary Baba Allaudin Khan and former wife of Pandit Ravi Shankar). And his majestic voice and perseverance helped him to bag opportunities to perform across the world. So far he has performed at over 400 concerts. However, it hasn’t come easy and even today the disciplinary man starts the day early. The slot between 5am and 8am is reserved for riyaaz. The soonto-be-80 artiste claims, “Music is cocktail for me. I get drunk on it.” His upcoming release is a compilation of his music recordings. “The 12 CDs have recordings of my concerts from all over the world in the last four decades. There are more than 25 ragas in these CDs (all evening and late night ragas), based on love between Radha and Krishna,” says Vinay. The unique album of Vinay’s 60 – year – creative raga journey was released 19.12.2015 at a gala event attended by, among others, Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia, Ustad Aashish Khan and his “guru niece” Anoushka Shankar .

Anoushka Shankar Thursday, May 2, 2019 at 8:00Pm This Is the 939Th Concert in Koerner Hall
Anoushka Shankar Thursday, May 2, 2019 at 8:00pm This is the 939th concert in Koerner Hall Anoushka Shankar, sitar Ojas Adhiya, tabla Pirashanna Thevarajah, mridangam Ravichandra Kulur, flute Danny Keane, cello & piano Kenji Ota, tanpura Anoushka Shankar Sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar is a singular figure in the Indian classical and progressive world music scenes. Her dynamic and spiritual musicality has garnered several prestigious accolades, including six Grammy Award nominations, recognition as the youngest – and first female – recipient of a British House of Commons Shield, credit as an Asian Hero by TIME magazine, an Eastern Eye Award for Music, and a Songlines Best Artist Award. Most recently, she became one of the first five female composers to have been added to the UK A-level music syllabus. Deeply rooted in the Indian classical music tradition, Shankar studied exclusively from the age of nine under her father and guru, the late Ravi Shankar, and made her professional debut as a classical sitarist at the age of 13. By the age of 20, she had made three classical recordings for EMI/Angel and received her first Grammy nomination, thereby becoming the first Indian female and youngest-ever nominee in the world music category. She is also the first Indian artist to perform at the Grammy Awards. In addition to performing as a solo sitarist, her compositional work has led to cross-cultural collaborations with artists such as Sting, M.I.A., Herbie Hancock, Pepe Habichuela, Karsh Kale, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and Joshua Bell, demonstrating the versatility of the sitar across musical genres.

Anoushka Shankar: Breathing Under Water – ‘Burn’, ‘Breathing Under Water’ and ‘Easy’ (For component 3: Appraising) Background information and performance circumstances The composer Anoushka Shankar was born in 1981, in London, and is the daughter of the famous sitar player Ravi Shankar. She was brought up in London, Delhi and California, where she attended high school. She studied sitar with her father from the age of 7, began playing tampura in his concerts at 10, and gave her first solo sitar performances at 13. She signed her first recording contract at 16 and her first three album releases were of Indian Classical performances. Her first cross-over/fusion album – Rise – was released in 2005 and was nominated for a Grammy, in the Contemporary World Music category. Her albums since Breathing Under Water have continued to explore the connections between Indian music and other styles. She has collaborated with some major artists – Sting, Nithin Sawhney, Joshua Bell and George Harrison, as well as with her father, Ravi Shankar, and her half-sister, Norah Jones. She has also performed around the world as a Classical sitar player – playing her father’s sitar concertos with major orchestras. The piece Breathing Under Water was Anoushka Shankar’s fifth album, and her second of original fusion music. Her main collaborator was Utkarsha (Karsh) Kale, an Indian musician and composer and co-founder of Tabla Beat Science – an Indian band exploring ambient, drum & bass and electronica in a Hindustani music setting. Kale contributes dance music textures and technical expertise, as well as playing tabla, drums and guitar on the album.

David Pontbriand and Brian Shankar Adler
music presents David Pontbriand and Brian Shankar Adler Saturday, March 20, 2021 Live-Streamed from the Olin Concert Hall 7:30 pm About the Concert Sitarist David Pontbriand and percussionist/composer Brian Shankar Adler perform an evening of pieces and songs connected (in one way or another) to India. Unusual settings of sitar with vibraphone, drum set, and bomba legüero, engage in textural dialogue with the more customary duo of sitar and tabla. The program includes improvisations, original compositions, and folk songs, as well as works by Ellington/Strayhorn and Lennon/McCartney. Program Introduction Drone (Adler) is inspired by the subtle, hypnotic hum of the tamboura, a plucked string instrument from India. In this piece, I am seeking to create a similarly meditative effect through the use of weaving rhythms that stretch and contract; a palindrome, with no fixed beginning or ending. –BSA Alaap is the name for the exploratory opening section of a raga performance, where the raga theme is gradually unfolded and developed, in free time. In the Indian classical tradition, ragas are melodic frameworks based on one or more modal scales, each with specific conventions of phrasing that suggest a distinct melodic shape, or flavor. Within this framework, the artist creates a unique spontaneous composition with each performance. My alaap is an original conception, for sitar solo, combining melodic elements from two different raga forms with elements of free improvisation, in a “stream of consciousness” series of episodic variations. The vibes provide an atmospheric envelope, gently framing and supporting the melodic variations. –DP Gat is a composition for sitar and tabla, where the themes developed in the alaap are further explored in a rhythmic framework called tala.

Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares Presents: Joel Harrison's Multiplicity
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Glenn Siegel, 413-320-1089 [email protected] Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares presents: Joel Harrison’s Multiplicity Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares continues its 4th season with a performance by Joel Harrison’s Multiplicity , on Sunday, Novemeber 29 , at 7:30pm at the Arts Block Cafe , 289 Main St., Greenfield, MA. Multiplicity includes: Harrison , guitar; Anupam Shobhakar , sarod, Satoshi Takeishi , percussion. Single tickets ($15) available at www.jazzshares.org and at the door. Named a Guggenheim Fellow in 2010, Washington D.C. native Joel Harrison has long been recognized as a highly gifted guitarist, composer, arranger, vocalist and songwriter. A survey of Harrison’s body of work would be a bit like spinning a globe and stumbling on regions with names like Duke Ellington, Hendrix, The Beatles, John Mclaughlin, and Charles Ives. Wielding a focused lens and an ever-increasing courage to take risks with his art, Harrison has quickly blossomed from mentorships with Joan Tower, Ali Akbar Khan and Charlie Banacos into one of the most respected artists of his generation. On Mother Stump (Cuneiform), Harrison puts himself out front as a guitarist, leading a trio that catalyzes numerous American guitar styles, in a stunning display of raw sound and emotion that both soothes and rocks. His 2013 release, Infinite Possibility , new music for a 19 piece jazz orchestra, received a four and a half star review from Downbeat. AllMusic called it “a stellar exercise in ambition and vision.” Past works include Harrison on Harrison (Highnote, 2005), exploring the music of George Harrison, (Dave Liebman, Uri Caine and David Binney), Free Country (Norah Jones, Binney, Gary Versace), and the septet Search, which utilizes the techniques of contemporary classical composers like John Adams, Charles Ives, and Olivier Messiaen in compositions for a septet of modern jazz’s finest instrumentalists.
