Tarang's 1st Concert- Abhishruti

It takes years of untiring dedication and practice, numerous performances and some hard

knocks before an artist attains fame and recognition. Their passion demands time, effort,

enormous amounts of energy and above all mental strength and conviction to carry on.

We hope to provide one tiny avenue for them to journey on towards their destiny. In

pursuit of this objective we present today Ms. Abhishruthi Bezbaruah, a worthy disciple

of the famous duo; Padma Bhushan Pt. Rajan – Sajan Misra; who have said this of her

talent “It is wonderful for us to se our student performing so well”

Abhishruthi is multi talented, having displayed this aspect of her personality at a very

young age. A student of Mayo College Girls School, Ajmer and Lady Shri Ram College ,

New Delhi, she has won nearly every competition that she participated in and we can say

with certainty that winning is a habit of hers.

Abhishruthi has also done a course in Sound Recording, Design and Music production

from Whistling Woods International, Mumbai. A sound decision no doubt. In addition to

all these she is also a fine Bharatnatyam dancer having staged her Arrangetram- ‘Ranga

Pravesh’ in 2003.

Among the many awards that she has won; the Young Talent award for Hindustani

Classical Music by the Ministry of Culture, Govt of India and the 1st prize in the All India

Radio competition in the vocal music category, deserves special mention particularly as

the latter was the first by an Assamese. She is a radio approved graded artist in both the

classical as well as the Sugam Sangeet categories. This immensely talented lady is also a

regular on the Doordarshan presentations.

Abhishruthi has performed all over the country and abroad at many cultural, educational,

corporate and government events. Her mastery over her craft is a delight to the rasiks

and the layman alike. Her command over the range of ragas and impeccable technique

has taken her to Houston, Atlanta, Boston and Yorkshire. She has also featured on a

local radio channel – Radio Masti in Houston, displaying a lighter and fun side of her

personality.

This lovely lady also has a beautiful heart as seen by her efforts to raise funds by

performing at the Unitarian University Church, Munice, Indianapolis, USA and for

Martin Hospice of Huddersfield, UK. Her beautiful music and smile has helped soothe

the hearts and bring a smile on many faces.

Abhishruthi has also sung in Padmashri Muzaffar Ali’s serial “Zubaan-e-Ishq” and his

opera “Gomti”. Has sung for Pt. Jaikishan Maharaj’s ballets “Abhisaar” and “Orja ki

Nrittaki” apart from lending her voice ( ??! ) in the Disney channel serial “Ishaan”. Of

her talent and effort Shri Muzaffar Ali said ”Her mellifluous voice has touched our

hearts.”

In addition to all these activities Abhishruthi finds time to cut music albums of which

one is with the renowned bhajan maestro Shri Anup Jalotaji - “Prayaas- A classical

endeavour” and one other, a tribute to Late Darpanath Sharma – “Emuthi Geetor

Sonkolon” , an Assamese music album. Presently she is working on a semi classical

album in Assamese.

All these accomplishments at such a young age! A precious jewel to her gurus and an

every lasting delight to her audience.

We wish her the very best in all her endeavours.

It is imperative and appropriate that we thank Dr. Balasubramaniam, Director Research,

L V Prasad Eye Institute for his support by allowing us to organize this performance here.

We also thank all the people at this esteemed institute who helped us do it.
