Biography

  Anupriya is a professional violinist based out of the capital city of India, New Delhi. Daughter of legendary Hindi poet Prof Chandrakant Deotale, she is considered among the top class of violin players from India, one of the very few North Indian classical violinist in India today and the only violinist of international reputation in Delhi. She has a unique style of her own, on the lines of fusion in which she blends the elements of Gayaki (vocal rendering) and Tantarakari (instrumental rhythmic patterns), a manner in which not many are found playing violin in the entire country. Her style of playing is clearly distinguished by the sweetness of emotional depth of her music. Anupriya has created an enviable niche for herself in the field of fusion music and has worked with the musicians from France, Germany, Spain and Reunion Island. Anupriya has done her MA (Master of Arts) and M Mus (Master of Music), both in violin, with a gold medal from Vikram University (Ujjain) and Khairagarh University. She has become the first Indian musician to receive the prestigious Nazakat Ali Khan and Ustad Salamat Ali award at Lahore (Pakistan) in December 2004. Anupriya is the first Indian classical female musician to be recorded for a programme by the Pakistan Television.
