Pandit Nayan Ghosh is a multifaceted giant of Indian classical music, renowned for his exceptional mastery of the sitar and recognized as the only artist to have equal command over both the sitar and tabla. Hailing from a distinguished musical lineage, he received intensive sitar, vocal, and tabla training from his father, the renowned tabla maestro Pandit Nikhil Ghosh, and further sitar guidance from sarod maestro Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta. His sitar recitals are celebrated for their intense melodiousness, tonal brilliance, and the ability to convey the true depth and spirit of a raga by blending gayaki and tantrakari elements. Having performed globally for over five decades as a prominent sitar soloist, and accompanist to legends like Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan, his profound musical approach has earned him prestigious accolades, including the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award.

Ishaan Ghosh is a young tabla virtuoso, celebrated for a unique blend of deep-rooted tradition and contemporary innovation. Born into one of Indian classical music's most illustrious families—son and disciple of the sitar and tabla maestro Pandit Nayan Ghosh, grandson of the legendary Pandit Nikhil Ghosh, and grand-nephew of the flautist Pandit Pannalal Ghosh, he carries forward the rich legacy of the Farukhabad Gharana. Ishaan has performed globally at major festivals and venues, both as a soloist and a sought-after accompanist for stalwarts like Pandit Jasraj, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, and Kaushiki Chakraborty.
