Pandit Ramesh Misra is one of India’s most popular maestros of the sarangi (literally “of a hundred colors”), an ancient bowed lute that evokes the sounds of the human voice and is one of the most difficult of Indian instruments to master. He is the son and disciple of the sarangi virtuoso Pandit Ramnath Misra, and is currently studying with Pandit Ravi Shankar. A highly respected soloist and a sought after accompanist to many of India’s most esteemed vocalists, he is the recipient of many of India’s most prestigious awards. His program interweaves acoustic music with informal talk.
