Gaurav Mazumdar

Gaurav Majumdar, hails from a family of well-known musicians of Allahabad. He started to learn the sitar from the very basics and studied under the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar since 1985. He has indeed come a long way in his musical journey that began with vocal music, then violin and finally, the sitar. He has been performing since the past several years both in India & abroad and has performed for major festivals at prestigious venues. He has also collaborated with well known musicians from both the east & the west. He has had the rare honour of being chosen to compose music for a ballet based on 'Siddhartha', the book by noble laureate, Hermann Hesse. 

Gaurav Majumdar is also one of the few Indians to be nominated for the Grammy. His album with British-born musician Daniel Hope was nominated in 2004. He is India's first and possibly, the only musician to have played for the Pope some years ago. He has also appeared in an album with Barbara Streisand, among others, for a charitable cause.
