Minaakshi Majumdar

Minaakshi is a leading Hindustani vocalist of the present generation. She has created a niche as a classical and semi-classical vocalist through her performances in several reputed music festivals and venues. Her performances at the National program of Music organized by the national radio and the Dover Lane Music Conference drew attention to her talent, which took her on tour to several cities in the country and abroad.

Minaakshi's ultimate formation as a performer occurred under the guidance of Gurus Bidushi Girija Devi, Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty and Pandit Arun Bhaduri of the Sangeet Research Academy, Kolkata, where she was a scholar for the final six years of her studies. Her birth in a family of musicians greatly helped in the initial nurturing of her talent. She was fortunate to find her first Guru in her mother Sandhya Majumdar. Later she received formal training from Sri Sarat Bandopadhyay and Pandit Nihar Ranjan Banerjee, Bidushi Purnima Chaudhuri and Sri Aniruddha Bhattacharya.

Minaakshi holds a master's degree from the Rabindra Bharati University with Honours in vocal music. She is an 'A' graded artist of the national radio of India. She is also a listed artist of Indian Council for Cultural Relations under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Minaakshi is gifted with a voice, which suits equally well for Khayal, Thumri and other type of semi-classical songs. Her prolonged and in-depth study of the different forms equipped her style of rendition to be equally attractive to the erudite as well common listeners. It ranges from simplicity to complexity, never loosing that alluring quality. Her command over Raga, Sur, Taal and Laya, as applied in the different forms she has excelled in, allows her the freedom of expression - the ultimate Rasa she delivers through her performances.
