Welcome to my web site! Anupama (b. 1974), one of India's rising artistes, is an accomplished sitarist carving a niche with a string of acclaimed performances.
Born and raised in a family with great devotion to music, Anupama started receiving sitar lessons at the tender age of nine from Shri R.N.Verma. Her potential was visible from her early childhood success in various open music competitions.
At the age of thirteen she was blessed by the rare opportunity to be a disciple of Pt. Shri Bimalendu Mukherjee, a doyen of the famous Imdadkhani Gharana which is justly renowned for its fluency and grace. Since then she has been learning the intricacies of the Gayaki style of sitar playing which is the basis of Imdadkhani Gharana.
Under the divine guidance of her Guruji, Anupama is acquiring finesse in disciplined raga development, the technical nuances of bringing out the cadences of the sitar, and in the expression of emotions through music. With her devotion and dedication, she set out to hone her musical skills in the traditional Guru Shishya parampara.
Academically she has completed the Sangeet Visharad and obtained her Masters in music from Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya.
During this span of time she had successfully completed the M.A. (music) and obtained her B.Sc. in mathematics |
