SVCC presents online Sarod Musical Performance
View(s):Arnab Bhattacharya, a young talent in Sarod, drew his inspiration at a tender age from his father Sri Swapan Kumar Bhattacharya. Arnab’s father introduced him to the world of Hindusthani (NorthIndian) Classical Instrumental Music under the able tutelage of Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta. Arnab’s journey in the world of Indian Classical Music followed the repertoire and style of the traditional Seniya Shahajahanpur Gharana. He made his own impression with his dedication, depth, and expansion to the existing lineage of The Gharana.
Arnab’s unique ability to weave the most intricate textures of sound, even at a higher speed, keeping in mind the grammar of The Raaga, sets him apart in the world of Indian Classical Music. In short, he has his own signature style, in his performance.

He has performed globally and successfully collaborated various forms of music with their distinct styles. He has travelled extensively with his music in the USA, Europe, Central Asia, and Russia.
