The Conway Muse presents THE MISHRAS
May 29

India’s acclaimed father-son sitar duo, Pandit Shivnath Mishra and his son Deobrat Mishra, perform their joyful, powerful ragas to support the Academy of Classical Indian Music in Varanasi.

To keep the art of classical Indian music alive, an art passed on traditionally only through lineage, the Mishras began giving instruction in their home in Varanasi (once known as Benares). Today the family heads the Academy of Classical Indian Music, open to all children of any caste or family circumstances who wish to learn Benares Gharana, or ancestral tradition.

“I have seen all the greats of Indian classical music…. But I have never seen such creativity,
spontaneity and depth of emotion as I have here tonight.” Norman Masonson, Symphony Conductor, Pt. Reyes, California
