Rajat Prasanna, born in the family of traditional legendary musicians of Benaras Gharana, Rajat was fortunate to have the right environment for his latent musical talents to blossom. Right from the tender age of six years, Rajat is being learning Indian Classical Music and groomed under the kind guidance of his grandfather late Pandit Raghunath Prasanna & father Shri Ravi Shankar Prasanna. The music heritage has imbibed in him a very keen sense of sur and taal (Musical notes & Rhythm), with the result; various exponents of Indian Classical Music have applauded his public performances in musical sittings.
The polished tonal grace, rhythmic elegance, and depth as well as lucidity of expression evident in Rajat’s playing are the result of his continuing advanced training and refinement uder his father and to the rigours of such a preeminent tradition. Rajat has added his own dedication and finesse - through painstaking practice, assiduous assimilation and erudite presentation.
Music lovers and critics in India have acclaimed his imaginative and haunting rendition of ragas. His performances are replete with unexpected, sweet and breathtaking improvisations. While listening to his enthralling performances, Times Music has released a collection of ragas & dhuns in a cassette named Dharohar-2 on flute at the age of fourteen. Since then he has repeatedly performed in All India Radio, Akashwani & Doordarshan.
