Pt. Vinayak Vora, Mumbai

Pt. Vinayak Vora is one of the few exponents of Dilruba and Tar-Shahnai, and he weilds them with equal originality and virtuosity.

Born in 1929 at Kachchh-Mandvi in Gujarat, in a cultured family of musicians and scholars, Pt. Vora inherited his devotion to music from his father, Acharya Nanalal Vora.

Along with his academic education, Pt. Vora benefited from the long and relentless grooming in Vocal and Instrumental music from his father. Later, at Bombay (Mumbai), he came under the influence of the late Pt. Yeshwant Purohit, a leading exponent of Kirana Gharana. The delicacy and sensitiveness of his mentor's style is beautifully reflected in Pt. Vora's performance.

Inspite of a long association with AIR Bombay, Pt. Vora continues to be a much sought after artiste for enlistment both as a Soloist and as an Accompanist in several sangeet sammelans in India and abroad.

Pt. Vora is on the SurAurSaaz jury panel (setup by SudeepAudio.com).
