Abhishek Adhikary is one of the brilliant Sitarists of the present generation, belonging to the Senee Maihar Gharana. His performance reflects the traditional Dhrupadang Beenkar baaz and the purity of the Ragas. His soulful Alap and Vistar and the heart touching Meends create an aesthetic appeal among the listeners. Though Abhishek mainly plays the Tantrakari ang but he assimilates the Gayaki ang too in his performance. His style of playing reflects spiritualism with dexterity.
Groomed in the atmosphere of music from the very childhood, Sri Abhishek Adhikary took to music instinctively. His musical lineage starts from the great musician Pandit Haricharandas Swami of Varanasi.This great Beenkar and Sitar player is thus, the torch-bearer of their gharana.The eminent Surbahar and Sitar player Aacharya Bhagabandas Sitary,who was garlanded with the honourable rank of the precetor of music in the Dacca Nawab Estate is one of the worthy decendants of Pandit Haricharandas Swami and an ancestor of Abhishek. Abhishek’s grandfather Late Pandit Manmohan Sitary who spent his last days in Kolkata, devoted his entire life in propagating music. Both the parents of Abhishek, Sangeetacharya Nandalal Adhikary and Smt. Rakhi Adhikary are reputed vocalists of Kolkata. Intially Abhishek started his sitar lessons from Late Sri Sukumar Chandra. Thereafter, he was also fortunate to have his extensive talim in sitar from Late Pandit Deepak Choudhury, one of the finest Sitarists of India. (Both were the foremost disciples of Bharat Ratna Pandit Ravi Shankar).
In the year 2004, Abhishek graduated from Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata with Honours in the subject of Instrumental Music in First class First. And in 2006,he has completed his Master’s degree(M.A.) in Music with First class and Distinction from the same university.
