Acclaimed as one of India's finest Tabla players, Pandit Nayan Ghosh has drawn
the attention of serious musicians and connoisseurs alike for his innate
artistry, rich repertoire and tonal brilliance. His immense talent and a
wholesome training has seen him blossom into an extraordinary musician and in
the words of several senior stalwarts, an important reference source already
for today's younger musicians.
One of India's front-ranking Tabla players, Pandit Nayan Ghosh is widely
acknowledged as a brilliant soloist and a refined accompanist. The hallmarks
of his musicianship are a ringing tonal resonance, powerful yet superfine
dexterity and an enviable traditional repertoire of the Farukhabad, Delhi,
Ajrada and Lucknow styles.
He has received intensive and immaculate training from his late father, the
renowned maestro 'Padmabhushan' Pandit Nikhil Ghosh, who was considered an
important figure in the Indian music scene of the 20th century. Nayanji's elder
uncle was the legendary flautist Pannalal Ghosh. Nayanji grew up listening to
such maestros like Ustad Ahmedjan Thirakwa, Ustad Amir Hussain Khan, Ustad
Jahangir Khan, Ustad Habibuddin Khan, Ustad Inam Ali Khan and several others.
Since 1974, Nayanji has performed solos and duets with his father at several
prestigious international music festivals in the capital cities of Europe,
U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Philippines as also across the
length and breadth of India.
He has provided evocative accompaniment to almost all the leading personalities
of Indian music, to name a few, Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Vilayat Khan, Pt.
Nikhil Banerjee, Pt. Buddhadev Dasgupta, Smt. Sharan Rani, Ustad Amjad Ali
Khan, Pt. Shivkumar Sharma, Ustad Munnawar Ali Khan, Ustad Salamat Ali Khan and
Pt. Jasraj.
Nayan Ghosh is also acclaimed in India and around the world as an equally
outstanding Sitar player, a fact that gives his musicianship a unique
dimension.
In the midst of a busy performing schedule, Pandit Nayan Ghosh imparts advanced
training to young professional musicians at Bombay's prestigious music academy,
SANGIT MAHABHARATI at Juhu.
Yep , we love him . Ask him to bring his tabla next time he comes
to Austin TX . If you can get him to put that sitar down for a minute.

Yes, he is one of the best tabla player and sitar player of India. I am a great fan of him. He is equally a very nice and kind person. His tonal quality and clarity with a great speed are just amazing.
