About the Artist Hariprasad Chaurasia Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia has been
amongst the few Indian classicists who have made a conscious effort to reach
out and expand the audience for classical music the world over. As a musician,
Hariprasad Chaurasia is a rare combination of innovator and traditionalist. He
has significantly expanded the expressive possibilities of classical North
Indian flute playing through his brilliant technique and unique adaptation of
alaap and jod. In 1984, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to
music, he was felicitated with the National Award of the Sangeet Natak
Academy, followed by the Padma Bhushan and Konarak Samman in 1992, the Yash
Bharati Sanman in 1994 and the Padma Vibhooshan in 2000. Pt. Chaurasia's
international tours include recording with big artistes like John McLaughlin
to Jan Garbarek. Apart from classical music, he has made a mark as a Hindi
film music director along with Pt Shivkumar Sharma forming a group called
Shiv-Hari. Aashish Khan Ustaad Aashish Khan has a long distinguished tradition
in Hindustani music. Besides his virtuosity as a traditional sarodist, Aashish
Khan pioneered in the establishment of the world music genre, as founder of
the Indo-American musical group "Shanti" in 1969-70 and later a fusion group,
"The Third Eye". He was the first to write a Sarod Concert in the "raga" form.

and stage, including Satyajit Rays's "Apur Sangsar" "Parash Pathar" and Sir
