Violin Sisters and Flute Sisters Violin sisters: Internationally acclaimed violin maestros Dr. M. Lalitha and M. Nandini have been widely applauded as the ‘Queens of Violin’ – Popularly known as the ‘Violin Sisters’, these outstanding musicians have enthralled the audience worldover with their spell binding music. Hailing from an illustrious family of musicians, Lalitha and Nandini have the privilege of being the fourth generation of musicians in their family. Lalitha and Nandini are the torch bearers of a unique musical tradition but yet have evolved a distinct style of their own. Accompanying them on Mridangam is very talented Sridharan Sankaran Flute Sisters: Debopriya and Suchismita are world’s most unique pair of flautist sisters for whom flute is life. Musical sojourn of the Flute Sisters began early on, in their natural settings, with hugely gifted parents, Prof. Robin Chatterjee & Mrs. Krishna Chatterjee; both vocalists & composers from Allahabad. Their quest for the depth & richness of Hindustani classical music, especially the flute or ‘Bansuri’ brought them to the feet of Guru the greatest living exponent of Maihar Senia Gharana, Padmavibhushan Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. Their mother was amongst the first group of the Maharishi Gandharva Veda musicians who did research in Gandharva Veda at MERU during 1995 under the guidance of Maharishi and their master Hariprasad Chaurasia. Both sisters had moments to share with Maharishi along with their mother and the great maestro Hariprasad ji during their student days then. Accompanying them on Tabla is Pandit Sandip Bhattacharya
