Talent that has no words

I cannot describe how thankful we are to Indrajit Banerjee and his team. From beginning to end, they were professional, punctual, gracious, and an absolute pleasure to work with.
We hired them to perform for a fundraising event for our temple, and Indrajit, his wife Sonalee, and the entire team went far beyond what was expected. They delivered a truly world-class performance that elevated the entire evening and left a lasting impression on our guests.
Indrajit is not only an extraordinary artist, but also a consummate professional. He was clear, thoughtful, and reliable throughout the planning process, and the performance itself exceeded every expectation.
Thank you to Indrajit and his entire team for pouring their hearts and souls into their art and sharing such a beautiful gift with the world. We are deeply grateful.

About

Indrajit Banerjee — Sitarist | Austin, Texas
Indrajit Banerjee is one of the foremost exponents of the Maihar Gharana — the lineage of Pandit Ravi Shankar — and widely regarded as one of the finest sitarists performing in the United States today.
Trained across multiple legendary classical traditions, Indrajit brings rare depth and technical mastery to every performance. His playing is known for its warmth, versatility, and an almost effortless musicality that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds — whether he’s performing traditional Indian classical ragas, world fusion, or collaborating across genres with artists like Sting, Fareed Haque, and Jeff Coffin.
He has performed on prestigious stages worldwide and is a member of the Texas Commission on the Arts Touring Roster. Based in Austin, he is also the founder of the Antara School of Indian Classical Music.
Available for classical concerts, cultural events, festivals, university engagements, collaborative performances, and select private events. Performs solo or with tabla accompaniment. Professional sound system available for events within driving distance of Austin.

Additional booking notes

We need a stage or dedicated area with a carpet to set up. We sit on the floor, so the carpet area should be clean and visible to the audience (not blocked by large objects). We can bring our own stage/carpet set up as required.
