Born in Kolkata, Dipanjan Guha is one
of the brightest young exponents of the Senia Maihar gharana and a long-time disciple of renowned sitar maestro Shri
Kushal Das.
His
training began at the age of ten, under the guidance of Shri Sailen Das. He has since played in a number of concerts in India,
South Africa (including concerts by invitation from the Indian Consulate
in Johannesburg), UK (including concerts
with Scottish musicians) and USA, which
received considerable appreciation. His concerts got a big appreciation from the Indian press.
His concerts are marked for their aesthetic
appeal and insight with a fine command of technical expertise. Though a musician of the Senia Maihar gharana, Dipanjan has
a distinct style of his own and some rare musical features from the Bishnupur gharana.
He has received intensive and rigorous training in advanced
sitar techniques and the art of music making under the affectionate guidance of Shri Kushal Das. He also had the proud privilege of learning from great musicians like Late Pandit Ajoy Sinha Roy and Pandit
Jatin Bhattacharjya.
