Sitar Recital – Sublime Melodies

A Baithak Style Concert

Saturday, June 7, 4.00 PM Kathak Rhythms Studio - Plano 4020 Hedgcoxe Road, Suite 150, Plano, Texas 75024

Pandit Ravi Chary (Sitar)

Amit Kavthekar (Tabla)

Pandit Ravi Chary is the first sitarist to have emerged from the landscape of Goa. He is a sought-after performing

artiste, both as a soloist and in collaboration with artists. Ravi Chary is the son of the late Pt. Prabhakar Chari, a noted

tabla player, academician & musicologist of Goa. His father was undoubtedly his first guru who encouraged him to learn

the tabla and harmonium as proficiently as the sitar. His foray into learning the nuances of the sitar began with the Prof.

Abdul Karim Khan in Goa, following which he came to Mumbai to learn from Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan. He

continues his journey with the Sitar under the tutelage of Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan. Ravi has had the privilege of

performing with some of the best Indian musicians - Ustad Allarakha Khan, Gaan Saraswati Kishori Amonkar, Vidwan

Vikku Vinayakram, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pt. Suresh Talwalkar, Ustad Sultan Khan, Louiz Banks, Ranjit Barot, Sivamani

to name a few. Ravi has performed alongside artists with different musical styles globally. These include the virtuoso

percussionist - Trilok Gurtu and established foreign artists like Salif Keita, Kai Eckhardt, Angélique Kidjo, Ben Watkins,

Pacco Sairre, Kudsi Eulgner & Robert Miles. His musical synergies have translated well in various mediums - live

performances, music albums, festivals, films and television. Amit Kavthekar was groomed in the art of playing tabla by

the legendary Ustad Allarakha. He has also been fortunate enough to be taught tabla intricacies by Ustad Zakir

Hussain. Amit has played with many eminent Indian Classical Musicians such as Ustad Zakir Hussain, Sivamani,

Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan, Pt. Buddhadev Dasgupta, Pt. Kushal Das, Pt. Shivkumar Sharma,

Pt. Jasraj and many others.
