About the Performance   

As an artist with a deep background in the Senia Maihar Gharana based in New York City, Anupam Shobhakar has undergone rigorous training under the guidance of Shree Suresh Vyas, a senior disciple of the esteemed Smt. Annapurna Devi, and Ustad Aashish Khan.  Having performed globally on the Sarod for many years, Anupam decided to embark on a new musical journey developing a comprehensive Indian Classical repertoire on the Fretless Guitar. This endeavor aims to expand the musical horizons of the instrument, enabling it to adeptly handle the nuances of Hindustani Classical Music. 

Borrowing from his extensive background of the techniques imbibed on the Sarod and  incorporating vocalisms of the  Sarangi, Anupam aims to expand the scope of the fretless guitar and bring it into the revered family of classical Indian instruments. Over the past year, he has passionately performed all over the world on this exciting new instrument.    On this concert, he is accompanied by Amit Mishra on tabla and Swaminathan Selvaganesh (the next generation of the august family of Vikku Vinayakaram and Selvaganesh).
