The story begins in 1968 when a six-year-old boy from a family of industrialists in Kolkata, India, was initiated to Sitar under Guru Pandit Monoj Shankar of Maihar Gharana to pursue music as a hobby. Intensive training, rigorous practice & above all,
destiny chalked out his career as a professional musician, who entered the sixth decade in Life’s Journey in January 2022 and enjoys world-wide acclaim. Music-lovers rejoice as they find the ‘Maihar Magic’ lives on – beyond Ravi Shankar & Nikhil
Banerjee – promising more heart-touching melodies in the years to come.

Performances at major music festivals in all five continents, lecdems & workshops at reputed universities, with students across geographical borders, leave Partha a well-travelled man, rich in experience and a realization – that there is always a lesson to be learnt every day. Appreciation of discerning listeners, eminent musicians, the Nikhil Banerjee, Memorial Award, SAngeet Ratna & Vadya Shiromani titles have come his
way – which, he believes, are “constant reminders to strive harder in search of excellence.” Partha Bose looks at Music as a “language of the soul, that reminds us of our shared humanity.”
