Event Details : “Fragments from the Indore Gharana” a Hindustani vocal recital by Siddhant Bhatia.
The Indore Gharana is one of the more recent of the gharana styles that evolved in the early 20th century. Its lineage began with the legendary Ustad  Amir Khan Saheb, whose father, Ustad Shahmir Khan and  grandfather, Ustad Change Khan, served at the courts of the Holkars of  Indore. Amir Khan developed his own singing style, incorporating the styles of Abdul Waheed Khan (vilambit tempo), Rajab Ali Khan (taans) and Aman Ali Khan (merukhand). This unique style blends the spiritual flavor and grandeur of dhrupad with the ornate vividness of khayal.
Siddhant performes Raga Gaud Sarang and Raga Jog and some Bhajans (devotional songs)
 He is a singer, trained in the classical Khyal gayaki. He had his initial training in the Kirana Gharana tradition from Shashibhal Mishra. At the age of 16, he was introduced to the Indore Gharana tradition from the great Sarangi Maestro, Ustad Munir Khan.  
Siddhant studied Music Production and Audio Engineering in Australia.    There he collaborated and sang with some  of the best Australian musicians   like Greg Sheehan, Tarshito, Ariel Kalma, the Israeli band ‘Sheva’ and Steve  Berry and also taught Classical Vocal to teachers at the Lismore  Conservatory.  
On his return to India Siddhant started learning from the duo Ustad Jawwad   Ali Khan – Mazhar Ali Khan of the Kasur Patiala gharana tradition. (The direct lineage of the Great Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan).
Siddhant has performed at concerts for Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and is associated with the ‘Art of Living Foundation’, where he spends most of his time in devotional semi classical music. He has a fresh voice, a free mind and an emotionally creative   feel to his singing and his training in a mixture of various musical worlds has given him a chance to develop his own musical style.
