Ravishankar
Mishra, an ardent 'aspirer' and 'seeker' of Music, symbolises
'commitment' and 'dedication' to the rich tradition of
Hindustani Classical music of India. Born on 21st June,
1970, he was initiated into the art of flute playing by
his father Shri Dinesh Chandra Mishra, even as he developed
a strong inclination to 'bamboo-wind' instrument.
His
inner urge to explore into the depth of classical music
and the flute playing inspired him to seek the discipleship
of Pandit Nityanand Haldipur(Maihar gharana) , who belongs
to the lineage of legendary flutist, Pandit Pannalal Ghosh.
Ravi has the blessings of legendary sitarist Padmashree
Ustad Haleem Jafer Khan, whom he revers as his mentor
and guide.
Ravi's
flute-playing signifies a harmonius blend of 'gayaki'
and 'instrumentality' and well exemplified in pure and
natural melody. Marked by a methodical and disciplined
approach, the pristine quality of the 'raag' and vastness
of the sur are well preserved, as he creatively explores
into the vastness of melody without deviating from its
grammatical contours.
