Dr. Avinash Kumar, a gold medallist and ‘A’ grade artist with All India Radio, masterfully blends Hindustani classical music with contemporary expression, inspiring future generations.
Dr. Avinash Kumar’s journey through Hindustani classical music is marked by a rare depth of understanding and an unwavering personal connection to his art. An ‘A’ grade artist with All India Radio and a dedicated educator at Delhi University, his work transcends academia. His book on the Rampur Sahaswan Gharana reflects a lifelong engagement with the traditions that shape him.
Trained by masters like Pandit Tushar Dutt and Ustad Aftab Ahmed Khan, Kumar’s performances, from Sawai Gandharva to international stages in Egypt, carry an unmistakable authenticity. Honors like the Prabhavati Sangeet Sammaan are acknowledgments, but they don’t define his path. For him, music is less about accolades and more about the intimate moments shared with listeners, students, and fellow artists.
His journey includes significant awards and mentorship from notable figures, reinforcing his commitment to the craft and preservation of Hindustani classical music.
