Join us for an evening of soul-stirring ragas, where Pandit Chakrabarty’s mesmerising voice transcends tradition and touches the sublime.

Renowned as a towering figure in Indian classical music, Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty represents the rich heritage of the Patiala-Kasur Gharana while embodying the versatility to master nuances of various gharanas, including Jaipur, Kirana, Gwalior, and even South India’s Carnatic tradition. His profound musical journey, guided by legendary mentors such as Padmabhushan Pandit Jnan Prakash Ghosh and Ustad Munawar Ali Khan, has shaped his unparalleled artistry.

With over 100 albums to his name and performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall, Panditji’s repertoire spans Dhrupad, Khyal, Thumri, and devotional genres in multiple languages. His accolades, including the Padma Shri and Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, reflect his extraordinary contributions to the world of music.
