Pandit Shivnath Mishra

Pandit Shivnath Mishra is one of the most respected sitar masters in India (Pandit means master musician). He is a master teacher and is Lecturer and Head of the Music Department at the Sanskrit University of Benares. He was born into a well-known musical family in the Benares Gharana (ancestral lineage) and at five years old he began studying vocal music with his father Badar Prasad Mishra. When he was eight years old he began studying sitar with his uncle. In a family of many fine classical Indian vocalists, he is the first to master the sitar, playing it in Thumari style, characterized be a strong emphasis on melody and deep emotion. He is well known on All India Radio & Television and was a gold medal winner in the All India Music Conference in Calcutta.

Pandit Shivnath Mishra and his family have descended from a prominent musical lineage of Benaras Gharana going back several generations. In order to preserve this heritage, so precious to India, and make it accessable to children, Pt. Mishra and his family decided to create the "Benaras Gharana Baccha (Children's) Project.
