Bharadwaj Vellore Ramesh
The poignant sound of the Sarangi has always had me
spellbound. I am very fortunate to have met Guru Shri
Pankaj Mishra and have been learning from him for about
3 years. Based in the SF Bay Area, I am also a student of
vocal music and have been learning under Shri Mahesh
Kale for about 10 years.
I’ve been passionate about classical music, the Hindustani
discipline in particular all my adult life, and am blessed to
have found Gurus to guide me through my journey with
music.
