BIODATA Veena Sahasrabuddhe 16 Jan 1996
e-mail: h...@cs.unipune.ernet.in
Veena comes from a family of musicians. Her father, late Pt. Shankar
Shripad Bodas, was a disciple of Pt. Vishnu Digambar Paluskar. Young
Veena started her musical education with Kathak dance, which has given
her an unerring sense of rhythm. She was initiated into Khayal singing
by her father and her brother, late Pt. Kashinath Shankar Bodas. Other
mentors include Padmashri Balwantrai Bhatt, late Pt. Vasant Thakar and
late Pt. Gajananbua Joshi.
She has sung at all the prestigious venues and occasions. At the
recent Voices of the World festivals at Stockholm and Copenhagen she
represented India. She has given many lecture-demonstrations in
Hindi, Marathi and English. These are as well appreciated as her
concerts. She has recordings under many leading labels. She has been
awarded The Uttar Pradesh Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for the year
1993.
She has taught voice at institutions as well as privately to all
levels of students. Currently she offers tuition to advanced students
at home.
The style she has created for herself retains the fundamental values
of Gwalior Gharana while borrowing somewhat from Kirana and Jaipur
gharanas. The vidwans laud the authenticity of her music while
audiences are moved by its directness and intensity. Apart from
khayal singing, she is also sought after for her rich repertoire of
bhajans (devotional songs).
