Chakrabarty
is one of the most skilled sarode players in the world and as a classical
purist on his instrument, has few equals. A relentlessly self-improving student
of music, a teacher of extraordinary ability, an instrument designer, restorer
and maker of considerable skill, Arnab Chakrabarty is the complete sarode
musician of his generation. Arnab received his initial training from maestros
Brij Narayan and Buddhadev Dasgupta, and has supplemented his musical education
with vocal training from Pandit Yashwantbuwa Joshi and sitar music from Vinayak
Chittar, an inimitable sitar maestro. Trained by the late Kalyan Mukherjea, a
disciple of Radhika Mohan Maitra, the legendary custodian of the Shahjahanpur
tradition of sarode music, Arnab is described by his teacher as “the best
representative today, of the musical values I had inherited from Pandit
Maitra”. www.arnabchakrabarty.com
