Career
In 1978, Roy Chowdhury"s talents were spotted by the Maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan accepting him as a disciple. A turning point came when Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur took an interest in young Roy Chowdhury"s quest in 1982. The union of an instrument player with Pandit Mansur set the journey on the path of fulfilling this quest.
Biswajit Roy Chowdhary’s tutelage with Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur was formalized in a gandhabandhan ceremony in 1985 and the intensive guidance and training lasted till the demise of the guru in 1992.
He is perhaps the only Sarod player who plays the coveted compositions from the Jaipur-Atrauli tradition. Over the years Biswajit Roy Chowdhary has performed in various locations all over India and has participated regularly in some of the prestigious concerts.
He recorded the album "The Sarod Master" (1991) for Hot Club Records, produced by guitar player Jon Larsen. Biswajit Roy Chowdhary is an acclaimed artist of the All India Radio and Doordarshan and has featured in the National music concert and the annual Radio Sangeet Sammelan.
