Pandit Shailesh Bhagwat

Eminent Shehnai Maestro Disciple of Late Ustad Bismillah Khan Saheb

One of the most well known disciples of Late Bharat-Ratna Ustad Bismillah Khan Saheb, Pandit SHAILESH BHAGWAT”s rendering of Shehnai is marked with an emotional presentation – which has a systematic blending and an improvisation of Raga in the “Gayaki-Ang”. His phenomenal breath-control is superb and notable. No less noteworthy is his inclination in presenting the most intricate Ragas of his Shehnai which are less heard these days, like Raga Shivamat-Bhairav, Shahana-Bahar, Hans-Narayan, Hanskinkini, Meghranjani & many others.

Pandit SHAILESH BHAGWAT is equally eager to perform Lecture-cum-Demonstrations like his Concerts, & feels the intense necessity of propagating Music and every intricacy of Shehnai to each and every person who would love to understand Music and the Instrument – SHEHNAI.

Pandit SHAILESH BHAGWAT has rendered his Shehnai- Recitals at innumerable places in India on account of various types of Occasions & has given Concerts of SHEHNAI for more than Three Decades to date.

The Shehnai is not merely an instrument—it is the voice of devotion, tradition, and the eternal spirit of Indian classical music.
