About the artist:
Blessed by being born in a home where music was a breath, Shrinivas Joshi took to music naturally. Son of Hindustani classical music maestro Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, shrinivas drew inspiration from his parents.
After completing B.Tech from IIT, Delhi, his decision to make music a career was a conscious one. shrinivas started serious pursuit of music in a traditional Gurukul System under his father and mother late Smt. Vatsalabai Joshi.

Along with extensive training and proper talim in Kirana Gharana, he also started accompanying his father in concerts. Occasionally, both father and son performed together. By such a legendary performer by his side, the subconscious absorption of the finer aspects was even better.

About the artist:
Arati Ankalikar has a mellifluous and resonant voice. Her compelling stage presence has made her a successful and sought after concert vocalist. She is currently recognized as one of the top vocalists of the younger generation.

She started her training with veteran Late Pandit Vasantrao Kulkarni of the Agra Gwalior gharanas. Thereafter she was fortunate in receiving training from none other than Gana Saraswati Smt Kishori Amonkar of the Jaipur Atrauli gharana. For a brief period she also benefited from the guidance of Pandit Ulhas Kashalkar. She is continuing her training under Pandit Dinkar Kaikini. All of her teachers have influenced Arati's style. Listening to her performances one sees a very pleasant blend of the various gharanas represented by her teachers. Endowed with a rich resonant voice, Arati's performances are marked by an excellent command over both the rhythm and the melody.
