Sayan Ghosh represents the prestigious Etawah-Imdadkhani Gharana, renowned for its Gayaki Ang style of playing. Hailing from a musical family in Kolkata, his journey began with vocal music under the tutelage of his mother. He later transitioned to the sitar, training under Sri Ganesh Das, a grand disciple of Ustad Inayat Khan and direct disciple of Amiya Kanti Bhattacharya. Sayan further enhanced his craft under the guidance of Ustad Shahid Parvez.
Sur Vasudha, G20 Cultural summit, India
Sayan Ghosh was a prominent performer at the G20 Cultural Summit held during the Sur Vasudha event, which celebrated India's rich musical heritage. Sayan Ghosh's performance at this prestigious summit showcased his exceptional skill and the profound, meditative qualities of the surbahar.
With boundless creativity and enthusiasm, Sayan launched the innovative project "Tagore on Sitar," which merges Rabindranath Tagore’s iconic songs with the rich, resonant tones of the sitar. This ambitious venture is particularly challenging on a fret instrument like the sitar, as it requires mastery of raaga-based techniques and the graceful sliding movements central to Rabindra Sangeet.
