Suchisree Ray

Born in 1972, Suchisree Ray learnt Dhrupad at an early age from Rabi Mallick. She then took lessons in Kheyal from Pt. Arun Bhaduri and Pt. Manas Chakraborty, and finally received intensive taalim from Pt. Kumar Prasad Mukherjee. She received taalim in Thumri from Vidushi Purnima Choudhury and then from Vidushi Reba Muhuri. In her arresting rendition, Suchisree is able to combine the boldness of the Agra-Gwalior gayaki and the eloquence of the poorav ang.
