Anandi Bhattacharya to Perform at Women’s Voices festival in New York

 

Indian vocalist Anandi Bhattacharya is set to perform on Friday, October 24, 7:30pm at St. Peter’s Church in New York.

Born in 1996, Anandi Bhattacharya became a child prodigy in a family of renowned musicians and singers, including her father, slide guitar master Debashish Bhattacharya, who has been her constant guide, and her grandmother, whose vocal music was nurtured within the family.

Anandi started training under her aunt Sutapa Bhattacharya at the age of three, and gave her first radio performance at four. When she was 12, she studied under Vidushi Shubhra Guha. She has toured internationally and recorded (Madeira, Beyond the Ragashere) with her father, including an experimental program of Tagore’s songs, and performed extensively with him in the United States, including an appearance on an NPR Tiny Desk Concert. Accompaniment by Subasish Bhattacharya on tabla and Pt. Ramesh Misra on sarangi (bowed lute).
