Anupama Bhagwat to Perform at Women’s Voices festival in New York

Sitarist Anupama Bhagwat is set to perform on Friday, October 17, 7:30pm at St. Peter’s Church in New York.She is one of the leading disciples of the world-renowned Pt. Bimalendu Mukherjee, exponent of the famous Imdadkhani gharana, which is admired for its fluency and grace. She has imbibed the vigor that is a hallmark of her tradition: scintillating fast taans, soulfulness of the meditative alap and brilliant fluency of melody (raag bhava).

Under her Guruji’s inspiring guidance, she has mastered the gayaki (vocal) style, while bringing out its lyrical beauty with the emotive cadences of the sitar. Accompaniment by Nitin Mitta on tabla. Anupama Bhagwat has a recording titled Confluence.
