SUBHRA GUHA - Vocals
Subhra Guha is an exponent of the Agra Gharana and is
one of the rising stars on the horizon on Indian Classical Music.
She owes the magnificience of her voice to the superb training
methods of her guru Pandit Sunil Bose, the veteran of the Agra Gharana,
under whom she started her training in late 1970 in the
traditional gurukul style at the Sangeet Research Academy.
Subhra was trained earlier by Shri Satish Bhowmik.
Subhra's voice is striking, exhibiting magnificient training with
exquisite tonal structure having continuity over range and a
workability remarkably cut out for Khayal singing.

years under the tutelage of Late Ustad Bahadur Khan.
After his Ustad's untimely demise, Tejendra continued his
riyaz under the supervision of Sri Ajoy Sinha Roy.
He bloomed under the guidance of the greatest
sarod maestro of our times, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.
.. Tejendra surpassed all other young players of the sarod…
seems to peer above them all in his excellence alike
in all departments of the sarod art.
A great future certainly awaits him.
Tejendra's meends, with all their swimming grace,
tempt one to call him 'Meend ka Raja'. The Hindu
