Mitali Banerjee Bhawmik is an exponent of Hindustani Classical vocal music. She started her training in music at a very early age from Sri Ajit Dutta, followed by extensive training from Late Shree Biren Phukan in Guahati, Assam.
Subsequently she received training from Srimati Meera Banerjee, the Kolkata based noted vocalist. Since 1984, Mitali was under the tutelage of late Padmabhushan Pandit V. G. Jog, the famous violin maestro.
Pandit Jog's vast and extensive experience in the different musical styles and traditions has helped Mitali to blend the best of few Gharanas in her music in contrast to sticking to a single traditional Gharanas style. This has been the essence of Pandit Jog's philosophy in music and training methodology. Currently she is expanding her repertoire in semi-classical (Thumri, Dadra, Kajri, Chaiti, Hori, etc.) music from Smt. Dahlia Rahut, a senior disciple of Smt. Girija Devi.
She has performed in different prestigious venues in North America, Europe and India.
She is the director of Ethnomedia Music Studio where she trains students of music.
At present she teaches at Chhandayan facility in New York and she is an adjunct faculty at the Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of Arts.
