Sometimes there are such promising people who can create new levels of excellence in various fields of life, which is not a cake walk for many, and, Sovon Hazra is one of them. The Tabla Maestro, Sovon is a well known tabla player who has an aim to create magical nights for ardent music lovers.
Belonging to a traditional musical family, Sovon made his first public appearance at the age of seven where he spellbound the audience by his 15 mins Tabla Lahara and the trend continues till today. From the very childhood music, especially tabla, became a part of his soul. He started learning Tabla from legendary Pandit Biswanath Bose of Kolkata (Banaras Gharana). After Pt. Biswanath Bose passed away, he further developed and fine-tuned his skill under the guidance of Pandit Kumar Bose, Pandit Jayanta Bose in Kolkata and also from Pandit Malviya from Cultural Centre of India.
Gradually, his musical talent attracted a lot of organizers who gave him a first break to perform solo nationally. Soon he started accompanying great musicians like Begum Parveen Sultana, Pandit Debu Chaudhury, Padmashree Saroja Baidyanaman, Yamini Krishnamurthy and many more.
In early 2003, Sovon Hazra started his first classical fusion musical group Sky. Sky performed all over India making them recipient of grand accolades by the media and public.
Recently on the occasion of Dr. Mulk Raj Anand's 105th birth anniversary, Sovon Hazra and Suhail Yusuf Khan on Sarangi (Grandson of Ustad Sabri Khan) gave a mesmerizing performance to offer reverence to the soul of Mulk Raj in Delhi. Sovon Hazra had also performed last year on the same occasion with the famous Sufi singer Hans Raj Hans which is still fresh in the minds of the audience.
