Buddhadev Chatterjee

The flavour of aesthetics, crafted by maestro Pannalal Ghosh and witnessed by the contemporary world, is being taken forwarded by Buddhadev Chatterjee who puts his selfless effort into maintaining and spreading the gyaki aang through flute, thus making it an exclusive one and the one that needs to be understood beyond the mundane sphere of life. On receiving training that is one of its kind under the guidance of Pannalal Ghosh and Prof. Deboprasad Banerjee, Buddhadev considers it as his motive to sustain the enriched culture of flute and to carry forward the legacy.

Buddhadev takes pride in having the opportunity to receive an extensive learning from Pandit Samaresh Choudhury, the most renowned student of Pandit Ravi Shankar - the legend of Indian classical music, for more than 25 years by now. The reflection of authenticity and grandiose, often observed in his way of imbibing the classical gyaki style in his playing of flute, is basically rooted in the Rampursheni gharana. Besides having won many prestigious awards and accolades, Buddhadev has also been awarded Gold Medal in the most remarkable Sangeet Praveen. A number of his videos and interviews are available on youtube.com. The ultimate intention is to widespread the magic of Hindustani Indian classical music.
