Indian Classical Music

Classical Hindustani Music featuring Sangeeta Shankar on violin, Lyon Leifer on Bansuri, and Hindole Majumdar on Tabla.

Violinist Dr. Sangeeta Shankar plays Hindustani classical ragas in the Gayaki Ang style which brings out all the emotions of a human singing voice. Shankar is the disciple and daughter of the renowned violin virtuoso Padmabhushan Dr. Smt. N. Rajam. The talented Grammy nominee continues the musical legacy by performing around the world.

Lyon Leifer is a master flutist who performs authetic renditions of raga melodies on the bansuri (north Indian keyless bamboo flute). The Fulbright Grant recipient pursued his interest in improvised raga music and flute playing for five years in India, studying with Devendra Murdeshwar, the inheritor of the legacy of the great Pannalal Ghosh.

Shekhar. He tours the globe accompanying great musicians of Indian Classical Music like Ustad Shahid Parvez, Ustad Shujat Khan, Pandit Vishwamohan Bhatt, Pandit Rupak Kulkarni, Pandit Rakesh Chaurasia, to name a few.
