About the Artists:
Ulhas Kashalkar, one of the prime representatives of Gwalior and Jaipur Gharanas, has earned wide recognition in India and abroad. He was initiated to music by his father Shri N.D.Kashalkar an able musicologist. A gold medalist at his post-graduation in music, he was later on trained by Pandit Ram Marathe and Pandit Gajananbua Joshi, stalwarts of Hindustani Classical Music. Gifted with a melodious voice, with superb flexibility, Kashalkar's music appeals to every music lover. His gaykee is especially noted for pure traditional rendering with his own asthetic interpretation. Renowned cassette companies of India and abroad have brought out many cassettes and compact discs of his music, a testimonial to his immense popularity. He has performed extensively in India and abroad. Ulhas Kashalkar is one of the most sought after artists, both in India and in several other countries. The number of record companies that have released his cassettes and CD’s world over is a reiteration of his popularity. For over a decade now, he has been with the ITC Sangeet Research Academy, Kolkata, as a Guru, producing numerous students of high calibre. A torchbearer of our pristine tradition, Ulhas Kashalkar continues to enthrall and take his audiences on an ecstatic journey through his music.
Pandit Suresh Talwalkar (Percussion - Tabla), one of the great exponents of tabla has contributed immensely to the field of Indian classical music. He comes from an illustrious family of famous Keertankar Dholebua. His father Shri Dattatrey Talwalkar, a noted pakhawaj player initiated him into tabla at a very young age. He studied the art of tabla from veterans like Pt. Pandharinath Nageshkar and Pt. Vinayakrao Ghangrekar. Besides Suresh ji has taken training on `layashastra' from Pt. Ramnad Ishwaran, a renowned mridangam player and vidwan from the South India. This diverse training enabled Pt. Talwalkar to imbibe the intricacies of both North and South India, thus making him a unique tabla artist. He has introduced vocal accompaniment to tabla solo, which has given a new dimension and direction to tabla solo performance. One of the greatest `gurus' of his time, his name is revered by all musicians with great respect. Pt. Talwalkar has accompanied all major artists in Hindustani music including Pt. Ulahs Kashalkar and Kathak dance, and given solo performances all over the world.
Sudhir Nayak (Harmonium), a familiar face at most music festivals in India, has gained recognition as a sensitive harmonium accompanist to several reputed vocalists. A disciple of Tulsidas Borkar, Sudhir also took guidance from the noted vocalist, Jitendra Abhisheki. Sudhir’s performances are regularly featured on Indian television and commercial recordings. He has performed in the USA, Europe, the UAE, Australia, among other countries. He has been accompanying Pt. Ulhas Kashalkar for a number of years. Sudhir is equally at home with harmonium solo renditions as he is with accompaniment. He has also gained recognition as a composer and a participant in cross-cultural musical experiments.
