Pandita Tripti R. Mukherjee
Nittin Mitta - Tabla
Pandit Jasraj ji's words on Tripti Ji " Tripti's dedication to her art
and her gurubhakti is unparalleled. I feel extremely fortunate to have
her as my disciple. Her monumental efforts in setting up the Pandit
Jasraj Institute for Music Research, Artistry and Appreciation - the
Mewati Gurukul in USA and her ongoing contributions to it are a
testimony to her devotion and commitment. She has further ennobled the
name of the Mewati Gharana ... Her voice is soothing yet powerful and
so laden with emotion, that it moves even the greatest of kalakars to
tears...Most of all, she is a wonderful human being - an epitome of
grace and modesty . "
Nitin Mitta is one of the prominent young tabla players of his
generation. Born in Hyderabad , in 1975, and brought up there, Nitin
first performed solo tabla at the age of ten. Over the years he has
matured into a tabla player of rare technical virtuosity and
sensitivity. He has performed worldwide with some of India's most
celebrated and honored musicians - such as Pt. Jasraj, Dr. Prabha
Atre, Pt. Rajan Sajan Mishra, Pt.Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Smt. Veena
Sahasrabudhe and Pt. Budhaditya Mukherjee just to name a few. Nitin's
accompaniment - at once dexterous, supportive and spontaneously
inventive - combined with the rich repertoire that he has inherited
from his guru-s, and the inspiration that he draws from his peers has
won him the admiration of music lovers and connoisseurs at an
international level.
