Debasmita Bhattacharya musicport 2026

S I have not managed to get to the Musicport Festival in Whitby since 2019; visiting this year made me realise what I have missed. Two days of music from all corners of the world , good beer and food, and a walk on the beach between sets . I took a few images of artists who performed; I will post these from time to time.

The first one is Debasmita Bhattacharya, the master Sarod player from India . She was joined by UK-based tabla player Gurdain Rayatt for the concert . It was a rare opportunity to catch one of the great artists from Indian classical music.

Born into a musically rich environment in West Bengal, Debasmita is one of India's finest Sarod players. Debasmita's musical journey began at the tender age of 4. She first started learning from her father and guru, Sarode maestro Pandit Debasish Bhattacharya. Consequently, she entered into the tutelage and guidance of the late Sarod virtuoso, legendary Padma Bhushan Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta of the Senia Shahjahanpur Gharana.

 

Debasmita attended the ITC Sangeet Research Academy (Kolkata) until 2017, under the constant vigil of her guru Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta. During her tenure as a scholar in the academy, she had the good fortune of being closely associated with eminent musicians. As an “A" – grade scholar of the prestigious Academy, Debasmita is fortunate to have shared the stage with the great maestros of Indian classical music. Along her journey, Debasmita has received numerous accolades and awards as an acknowledgement of her enthusiasm and dedication to the art. Internationally, she marked her debut with a solo performance in Sweden in 2014. Since then, she has performed worldwide, including major countries like the UK, USA, Australia, the Middle East, China and Bangladesh. As a solo artist, Debasmita has been invited to perform at some of the most prestigious international festivals held across the globe.
