Sougata Roy Chowdhury is one of the finest sarod players of his generation. He is a student of the late Dhyanesh Khan and of Ashish Khan, and also of sitar and surbahar player Pandit Santosh Banerjee. Coming from a family steeped in art and music at Tagore’s University in Shantiniketan, Sougata displays a huge dynamic range from long, sustained slide notes to rapid rhythmic virtuosity, all within the classical framework. He has toured widely across India and Europe.
