Tarun Bhattacharya
One of the un-paralleled music ambassadors India has contributed to the world is Santoor Maestro Pandit Tarun Bhattacharya. For the last 30 years, Tarun has been a flag bearer of Indian classical music at top-notch world concerts, from Royal Albert Hall to Kremlin (Russia), to Palace-De-Beaux (Brussels) to Theater-De-La-Ville (France)to Apollo Theater (Spain) to Jubilee auditorium (Canada), entertaining mesmerized audiences such as Prince Charles and the late George Harrison.
Having received his talim (music instructions) from his father Pt. Rabi Bhattacharya, as well as the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar, Tarun Bhattacharya has revolutionized the Santoor, an Indian instrument with over 100 strings.
He is known as the first champion (1980) who proved that one could ''meend'' or glide notes at the lower octave in a hammered instrument like Santoor. Pandit Bhattacharya is also known for the invention of "mankas" or the tuners that help in tuning this instrument.
Pandit Bhattacharya has released over 60 albums that have thrilled the world over. He has been the recipient of numerous felicitations like pre-Grammy nomination in 1997, and excellence in World Music.
