Anita Khare of Vancouver B.C. and progressed to learning from Smt. Asha Lohia under the Pandit Jasraj School of Music in Vancouver. Since 1999, he has had the blessing of taking advanced training from the living legend, Sangeet Martand Padmavibushan Pandit Jasrajji, as well as his senior disciples: Pandit Hemang Mehta, Pandita Tripti Mukherjee and Pandit Suman Ghosh. From Pandit Jasrajji and Pandit Hemang Mehta, he has been fortunate to receive intensive training in the vocal techniques of the Mewati Gharana. Amit has the distinction of being the only Canadian born Indian Classical Vocalist who has reached a high level in performance. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Mewati Pradeept Award in 2009 from the Pandit Jasraj Institute for Music Research, Artistry and Appreciation. Amit’s constant meditation on the complexities and basic framework of the Mewati Gharana is molding him into a cerebral musician whose maturity and understanding far exceeds his age. A highly spiritual person, Amit is an up-coming artiste whose style reflects an aesthetic blend of contemplation in music and technical excellence. He is also the director of the Pandit Jasraj Institute of Music Toronto. For more information, please contact info@amitarya.ca. |
