About the artist Ravi Shankar

Ravi Shankar

As a performer, composer, teacher and writer, Ravi Shankar is renowned throughout the world for his pioneering work in bringing Indian music to the West. He has been a cultural influence in the West for more than four decades as India’s most recognized and esteemed musical ambassador.

The youngest son of a Bengali family, he was born in 1920 in Varansi (Benares), the holiest of Indian cities. At the age of ten he accompanied his elder brother, Uday Shankar, with his company of dancers and musicians to Paris where he attended school. He spent several years in the West absorbing different kinds of music but returned to India in 1938 where he began his career in India. He combined his concert performances with his work for All India Radio (1949-56) where he established the National Chamber Orchestra. As word of his virtuosity spread throughout India, then Europe, Asia and the United States, Shankar embarked on one of the most extraordinary careers in the history of contemporary music.

Ravi Shankar is the recipient of many awards and honours including the Presidential Padma Vibhushan Award (1980) and the Award of Deshikottam, given by Vishawa Bharati and presented in December 1982 by the then Prime Minister, the late Mrs Indira Gandhi. He is an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and recipient of 14 doctorates. In 1986 he became a member of the Rajya Sabha, India’s Upper House of Parliament. He is a Fellow of the Sangeet Natak Academy and Founder President of The Research Institute for Music and the Performing Arts. His most recent honours include the ‘Praemium Imperiale Arts Award’ from Japan, ‘The Polar Music Prize’ often referred to as the Nobel prize for Music given by the King of Sweden, the Bharat Ratna “The Jewel of India”, the highest civilian award bestowed upon him by the President of India and most recently the Commandeur de la legion d’Honneur, the highest French civilian award. In 2001 he was made an Honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE).
