Atish
Mukhopadhyay is one of the very few ‘SARODE’
virtuosos from the present generation of ‘North
Indian Classical Instrumental musicians’- An
avid scholar of traditional Music, Atish has performed
to high critical acclaim throughout India and also
in abroad and holds several Awards and Titles for
his Musical excellence.
Right from his very childhood, music has been his
life blood. Atish began his music study in 1985 under
the guidance of Guru (teacher) Late Professor Dhyanesh
Khan.In 1991, Atish found a new haven when he met
and started to learn the art of Sarode playing under
the affectionate guidance of Guru Ustad Aashish Khan,
who is considered to be the greatest Sarode performer
of modern times and also the pioneer of Indo-Western
fusion music. Coming in contact with Guru Ustad Aashish
Khan was a reincarnation in Atish’s musical
experience. Atish has been studying music from another
finest Gurus of Indian Classical Music Mrs. Aameena
Perera. |

Atish
has been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to
study under the guidance of none other than the legendary
Maestro of Indian Instrumental music-Ustad Ali Akbar
Khan (Late) in quite a few occasions. Learning the music
from these greatest masters from the Maihar
Señia Gharana of Baba Allauddian Khan(the
most famous and rich lineage within the Indian Classical
Instrumental Music tradition) for almost 25 years, Atish
has developed a very strong musical base, yet he continues
his music study with Ustad Aashish Khan time to time
while pursuing a busy career as a solo concert performer. |

Atish
Mukhopadhyay’s passion for experimentation, study and
appreciation of non-Indian music and love of intercultural
musical collaborations make him a strong representative of
a new generation of Indian musicians. He has already worked

projects. As a composer, Atish composed musical themes on
‘Meditation and Peace’ in 2004 and at the moment
he is working on his first World-Music album. Atish’s
