Suchismita and Debopriya Chatterjee

In a tradition where vocals and dance often take centre stage, sisters Suchismita and Debopriya Chatterjee have carved out their own legacy with the bamboo flute. Disciples of Padma Vibhushan Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, their journey reflects devotion, discipline, and bold individuality.

Born to musicologists Krishna and Robin Chatterjee, they grew up surrounded by sound and scholarship. Early training under Pandit Bholanath Prasanna laid their classical foundation, but it was under Chaurasia Ji’s guidance that their artistry blossomed into a spiritual path.

They later broadened their perspective at the World Music Conservatory in Rotterdam, studying Western classical music while remaining deeply rooted in Indian traditions.

Now mentors themselves, the Flute Sisters continue to shape the future of Indian classical music — keeping tradition alive, relevant, and resonant for generations to come.
