Artist Testimonials

What other artists said

His fingers on Tabla are well balanced and bols are soothing to ears. I found him exceptional during Kathak accompaniment.

Pt. Birju Maharaj

World famous kathak maestro

Suraj doesn't throw his hands here and there on Tabla. His tabla solo recitals are authentic and mastered with clarity of bols.

Pt. Vijay Shankar Mishra

Famous author & tabla critic

Equal weight in 2 fingers while playing Delhi gharana kaydas is one of the most difficult aspects in tabla playing; Suraj’s control on two fingers and ‘teTe teTe’ sound was magnificent.

Dr. Shobha Koser

Kathak Exponent & Founder Pracheen Kala Kendra

Suraj is a young and talented tabla player. Traditional Talim of Delhi Gharana is visible in his playing.

Manjushree Chatterjee
