Shruti Vishwakarma is a promising Hindustani classical vocalist celebrated for her melodious voice, expressive bhava, and refined aesthetic. Initiated into music by her grandfather, Shri Narayan Shastri Godbole, and her parents, Smt. Jayanti and Shri Ganapatrao Vishwakarma (Kirana gharana), she received advanced talim under the late Gwalior gharana maestro Dr. Veena Sahasrabuddhe and Pandit Kedar Bodas. Her singing seamlessly blends the melodic sweetness of Kirana with the structural purity and robust laya of Gwalior. A versatile performer across khayal, thumri, and devotional forms, she regularly presents recitals at classical music festivals and baithaks across India and North America.

 

Pranav Gurav trained under rigorous traditional guru-shishya parampara within the rich traditions of the Farrukhabad and Punjab gharanas. His playing reflects a nuanced balance between robust rhythmic drive and subtle melodic support. A regular accompanist to emerging and senior Hindustani classical vocalists and instrumentalists alike, he frequently performs across prominent baithaks, classical music conferences, and youth festival platforms.

 

Swarup Diwan is an accomplished Hindustani classical harmonium artist trained under esteemed gurus in the classical tradition. His playing provides seamless, unobtrusive support that elevates the vocalist’s improvisational arc and emotive nuances. A dependable and sought-after accompanist across both khayal and semi-classical genres, he regularly shares the stage with emerging talents and veteran artists at classical concerts, music circles, and festivals.
