Abhisek Lahiri is a prolific sarod player. He is an artist of Indian national radio and television. He was trained by his father and Guru Pt. Alok Lahiri from a very early age. In his approach to Raga improvisation, he blends the traditional norms with unanticipated notes and phrases. And his approach to sarod playing incorporates the specialties of three major gharanas of Sarod, those of Shahajahanpur, Senia Maihar and Senia Bangash (Gwalior).

Abhisek’s performances have won the hearts of thousands of audience across the globe. He started performing at the early age of 11 years. In 1997 he was invited by Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia to play at Saath Saath Festival. In the same year he gave his debut of overseas performances in Holland at the World Kinder Festival. That was just the commencement of a prodigy's lifelong commitment towards music, later laid to concert tours in Europe, U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Sri Lanka, Japan, Bangladesh and India. He, along with his father Pt. Alok Lahiri, became the first Indians to perform at the European Parliament in France, at the Cannes World Music Festival and Canada Culture Days in Toronto.
