HarmoNYom is proud to present a special concert in NYC by very talented Sitarist Anupama Bhagwat and Nitin Mitta on Tabla.
Anupama Bhagwat, a refreshingly versatile sitarist of the current generation, has performed to critical acclaim in India, USA/Canada, UK, Italy, France, and Brazil. One of the leading disciples of the world-renowned Pandit Shri Bimalendu Mukherjee (a doyen of the famous Imdadkhani Gharana which is justly renowned for its fluency and grace), her sensitivity and erudition has taken her to the highest echelons of the modern genre, while remaining true to tradition. She has imbibed the vigor that is a hallmark of her Gharana: scintillating fast taans, mastery of the meditative alaap and brilliant fluency of melody (raag bhava), all the while maintaining her technical virtuosity. http://www.anupama.org/home.htm
