Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia is known internationally as the greatest living exponent of the North Indian bamboo flute. The numerous awards and titles that he has received over the year are acknowledgement of his mastery of the art and his contribution to music.
Pandit Chaurasia is a rare combination of innovator and traditionalist. He has significantly expanded the expressive possibilities of the classical instrument through his masterful technique. Moreover, in collaboration with santoor exponent Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, he has scored the music in several successful Hindi films, thereby proving his appeal not only among the classes but also among the masses.
Don't miss the chance to meet the legendary flautist when he appears on The Rediff Chat on Friday, 11 July, at 1700 EDT.
