Ravi, an ardent aspirer and seeker of Music, symbolizes commitment and dedication to the rich tradition of Hindustani Classical music of India. Born on 21st June, 1970, he was initiated into the art of flute playing by his father Shri Dinesh Chandra Mishra, even as he developed a strong inclination to bamboo-wind instrument.
Ravi Shankar Mishra is one of the finest makers of Hindustani Bansuri flute - Indian Bamboo flute. He learnt the art of Bansuri flute making from his father Sri Dinesh Chandra Mishra. In his endeavor to craft the Bansuri flute for his own playing, he mastered the art of Bansuri flute making. The hallmark of quality in his bamboo flutes is well reflected in the precision and a skillful workmanship evolved over the years of dedication and hard work. Ravi’s Bansuri flute making was blessed by the flute maestro and one of the greatest Bansuri bamboo flute makers, late Pt. Devendra Murdeshwar, who revealed to him the intricacies and dynamics of ‘bamboo’ and ‘wind’ leading towards near perfection.
Bansuri flutes - Bamboo flutes made by Ravi are of top quality - technically accurate and aesthetically beautiful. Each flute is made with dedication and passion that is required to turn out the most exquisite and beautifully resonate bansuri flutes.
Ravi Shankar Mishra has been imparting the art of flute playing for over a decade now. He has students from all over the world receiving serious training from him.
Ravi started teaching flute at a very young age. Dedicated students are learning bansuri from him in the traditional Guru - Shishya Parampara style. He is a generous teacher who believes that knowledge multiplies in sharing and hence is passing on the rich legacy of Maihar Gharana to his enthusiastic disciples.
