Samaresh Chaudhury

Pt. Samaresh Chaudhury

Pandit Samaresh Chowdhury is one of very few distinguished, younger generation classical vocalists of our time. Polished as it is, his vocal technique is primarily a testament to the rigorous training and grooming of his early years. Son of the famous “Sangeetacharya” (an honorific title for great accomplishment in music) the late Amaresh Chowdhury, Samaresh Chowdhury began his early training under the strict supervision of his illustrious father.

Later, he entered into pupilage with the world-famous sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar who swiftly recognised his talent and deep commitment to classical music. His ability to bring a refined freshness and spontaneity to raags that have already been sung thousands of times over hundreds of years, made Samaresh Chowdhury, with is extraordinary range and control over the octaves, stand out for listeners and critics, alike.


I've been to the following concerts of Pt. Samaresh-ji
