Arnab Chakrabarty (born 19 September 1980) is a Hindustani classical musician and sarod player based in Toronto, Canada.
Arnab's early training followed the Maihar and Shahjahanpur schools, which both derived from the Senia idiom founded by the legendary Mian Tansen.
He has received several dozen traditional sarod compositions from the Lucknow-Shahjahanpur Gharana master, Ustad Irfan Muhammad Khan.
[6] In 1999 he performed before Dr Kofi Annan, then the United Nations Secretary General, a memorial programme for the Pakistani peace activist Eqbal Ahmed.
[7] While capable of fast and articulate playing on the sarod himself, Chakrabarty believes that a lot of current Indian instrumental music tends to sacrifice aesthetic qualities in favour of raw speed and loud amplification.
