Naad Triveni in collaboration with Chatham University's Music Department presents:

Rakesh Chaurasia

Winner of two Grammy Awards, Rakesh Chaurasia has carved a niche for himself as an accomplished flautist. Incorporating the tradition of his renowned uncle Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, he has evolved a style which, while maintaining the purity of the flute, manages to capture the attention of the young listeners too. Rakesh’s flute has matched note and rhythm with wind instruments of other cultures as well as having performed ‘jugalbandis’ with Carnatic and world famous instrumentalists .

Rakesh has enthralled audiences in classical and semi classical concerts in Japan, Europe, Australia and USA.  He has also performed at many prominent festivals all over the world. He has won two Grammy Awards in 2024. He has also received Indian Music Academy Award, Aditya Birla Kalakiran Puraskar and Nakshatra Samman Award. 

Amit Kavthekar

Amit Kavthekar is a highly respected tabla virtuoso and the last ganda-bandh disciple of the legendary Ustad Alla Rakha, continuing his tutelage under Ustad Zakir Hussain. Revered for his exceptional technical command and emotional depth, he has become a leading accompanist for a wide array of top classical musicians. Kavthekar’s versatility extends to collaborations with Western classical, jazz, and fusion artists, showcasing his ability to seamlessly blend traditional rhythm with contemporary styles.
