Rakesh Chaurasia Biography:

Rakesh Chaurasia, the nephew and child prodigy of flute maestro Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, has carved a niche for himself, as an accomplished flautist. Incorporating the tradition of his renowned uncle and infusing his personal style, he has evolved a form of music which while maintaining the purity of the flute manages to capture the attention of the young listeners too.
Rakesh's flute has matched note and rhythm with wind instruments of other cultures as well as having performed 'jugalbandis' with Carnatic and world famous instrumentalists. His forte is in blending his flute without really losing its identity in mixed instruments concerts.
Rakesh has already globe trotted many times over, enthralling audiences at classical and non-classical concerts. He is also an accomplished studio musician having recorded with most of the leading stalwarts of the Indian film industry. Rakesh has been the recipient of numerous awards and accolades. He received the Indian Music Academy Award, presented by the Honourable President of India, Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam in 2007, the Aditya Birla Kalakiran Puraskar in 2008, the Guru Shishya Award in 2011, IWAP-Pandit Jasraj Sangeet Ratna Award in 2013 and the Pannalal Ghosh Puraskar 2013.
He has regularly appeared in prominent festivals such as the WOMAD festival in Athens, Womad Earthstation in Europe, the 'Festivals of India' in Russia, Japan, USA, and Europe, Festival of Saint-Denis in Paris and the Leicester International Music Festival in England.
