About Pt. Anindo Chatterjee

Anindo Chatterjee was born in 1953 into a musically inclined Kolkata family and began learning tabla at age five under the influence of his uncle, Biswanath Chatterjee. After initial training with Ustad Afaq Hussain Khan of the Lucknow gharana, he studied under the renowned Jnan Prakash Ghosh for three decades, developing crystal clear rhythms and exceptional dexterity that would define his career. His prodigious talent emerged early when he won the prestigious President's Award for 'Best Young Tabla Player' at just 17 years old.

Throughout his illustrious career, Chatterjee has accompanied India's most prominent classical musicians, including sitarists Pandit Ravi Shankar, Nikhil Banerjee, and Imrat Khan, sarodists Amjad Ali Khan and Buddhadev Das Gupta, santoor player Shivkumar Sharma, and flautist Hariprasad Chaurasia. His performances have graced the most prestigious venues worldwide, including a solo tabla performance at the House of Commons in 1990 and a memorable performance at Rashtrapati Bhavan during President Barack Obama's first visit to India in 2010. His contributions to Indian classical music were formally recognized with the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 2002.

Beyond his performing career, Chatterjee has dedicated himself to preserving and teaching the art of tabla for future generations. He founded the Anindo Chatterjee Institute of Tabla in Washington in 2010 as a non-profit organization focused on public education, and established the Anindo Chatterjee School of Tabla in New York, which uses innovative platforms, including live streaming classes and online archives, to reach students around the world.

About Sangeethaamsha

During the pandemic, Classical musicians in India were hit hard because the two primary avenues of income (live performances and teaching) were banned. For an art form that thrives in small groups, COVID was particularly devastating. Sign up for our newsletter at sangeethaamsha.com to learn more.

Originally started by a small group of volunteers, who raised money (in Dollars) and paid artists in India to hold virtual Zoom concerts for a small audience in the US. Encouraged by feedback from the local community, a small group of volunteers formally incorporated Sangeethaamsha as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2022.

Our goal now is to nurture, teach, produce, or provide access to a variety of arts experiences encompassing the visual, media, or performing arts, with particular intent to promote the rich heritage of the Classical Hindustani music to the young members of the community as well as the mainstream population in the U.S. Founded and operated by a group of volunteers from Silicon Valley, CA and the greater San Francisco area,

Our performances are typically organized in the “Baithak” style, which provides an intimate exchange of experience between the artist and the audience.

This style elevates appreciation of the music, accelerates learning, and importantly, helps interpret the artist’s musical expression.

We also hold workshops and invite visiting guests, teachers, and artists to perform in intimate venues.
