Event Details : Violin and Sitar Solos and Jugalbandhi by Anupriya on Violin and Ustad Anwar Khurshid on Sitar.
Anupriya is an outstanding exponent of classical North Indian violin. She has developed a unique style blending the elements of ‘gayaki’ (vocal) and ‘tantanakari’ (instrumental rhythmic patterns) and combining the traditions of Sarangi and Violin for which the ‘Dilli’ Gharana of music is justly famous. She has been described by critics as having “a keen aesthetic sense with a flawless bowing technique” and she infuses subtle nuances and a great deal of imagination in her work.
A disciple of legendary Sarangi maestro Pandit Ram Narayan, Anupriya had also received guidance from the great Sarod maestroes Pandit Mukesh Sharma and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and renowned Sitar maestro Ustad Shahid Parvez. She has worked with musicians from France, Germany, Spain and the Reunion Islands on her own style of fusion music and performed ‘Jugalbandhis’ with Pandit Mukesh Sharma on Sarod and Ustad Shafqat Ali Khan, renowned vocalist of Pakistan.
She has received a senior fellowship from the Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India and has won awards in Pakistan. She has performed in many European countries as well as in the Middle East, Singapore and Japan. In 2008 she went on an ICCR organized trip to Tunisia, Malta, Egypt and Israel.
Anupriya has performed creditably at various major concerts in India, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, UK, Reunion, Russia, Latvia, Singapore, Japan, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Nepal, Hungary, Slovenia and Pakistan. Anupriya is the first Indian classical female musician to be recorded for a program by the Pakistan Television.
In July - August 2008 she performed in Tunisia, Malta, Egypt and Israel through Indian Council of Cultural Relations. Anupriya has a large number of CD recordings to her credit, which include India Calling and Call of Horizons released in Germany and Holland. She has also founded the Ameer Khusro Centre for Music to promote awareness, knowledge and the cultural value of Indian Classical Music among the youth of India.
Anwar Khurshid lives in Canada and is the director of Sitar School of Toronto.
His musical education started early. He taught himself the flute at the age of ten and soon after under the guidance of Ustad Arif Jaffery, began performing live for Peshawar radio station. In 1980, he began formal study of sitar under the tutelage of the late Ustad Nasirudin. After Ustad Nasirudin passed away, Anwar Khurshid began studying Tabla under Ustad Muhammad Tufail Khan and developed a strong background in tabla and a keen sense of rhythm which is evident in his sitar playing to this day. Ustad Qazi Zahoor ul Haq, Ustad Zahid Farani, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Ustad Ghulam Hyder Khan have been major influences on his music.
Since 1997 Anwar learnt Sitar under the guidance of Ustad Shahid Parvez in Canada. He performs regularly in India, Pakistan, the US and Canada.
