About Me

Rageshree is an emerging talent in the fields of Indian Classical and Semiclassical music. With an extreme passion towards the world of music and a remarkable guidance from eminent Gurus, Rageshree’s musical journey speaks for itself. Apart from pure classical singing, she also lends her harmonic voice to an array of semiclassical genres like Thumari, Gazal, Bhajan, Natyasangeet, Bhavgeet. Rageshree's voice is unique-deep, rich and penetrating with tremendous power, stretching over an amazingly wide range of over 3 octaves. Acknowledged as the scion of the Kirana Gharana of Hindustani Classical Music, Rageshree Vairagkar is one of the brightest stars of the world of classical music. Her melodious and robust voice coupled with intricate handling of ragas has won her critical acclaim, and a large following of music lovers.

While Rageshree gave her first stage performance at the young age of five, she was initiated into formal training of Hindustani Classical Vocal only later at the age of nine. Fortunate to be born to a multi-talented musician Shri Jagdev Vairagkar, Rageshree is gifted with a melodious voice, is hard-working and has the outstanding capacity to enthral the audience with her musical talent.
She has been fortunate to be trained under the guidance of her uncle, the veteran vocalist Pt.Shankarrao Vairagkar (Kirana Gharana) and the leading classical vocalist Smt.Gayatri Joshi of Pune. She has also been receiving a valuable guidance from Internationally renowned vocalist Padmavibhushan Swaryogini Dr. Prabha Atre Ji.

Formally, she holds a ‘Sangeet Alankar’ Degree from Akhil Bharatiya Gandharv Mahavidyalaya Mandal Mumbai, M.A. in Music From the Savitribai Phule Pune University’s Lalit Kala Kendra Gurukul, Pune.

Though Rageshree does not confine herself to any one genre of music, her speciality lies in her breathless Alaap style.

Besides training in Hindustani classical vocal, she learned Kathak under the guidance of the well-known danseuse Smt. Rekha Nadgauda, director of ‘Kirti Kala Mandir’.

Though her musical journey has just begun, Rageshree has achieved many rewards thus far. She was blessed to perform in the presence of honourable Surashri Lata Mangeshkar, Pt. Birju Maharaj, Pt. Suresh Talwalkar, Pt. Rakesh Chaurasia, Pt. Vijay Ghate, Vidushi Arti Ankalikar, Pt. Satyashil Deshpande and other great mentors.
