santoor, which was used in soofi music in the velley of kashmir, owes its classical status to pandit shivkumar sharma. in the early decades of the twentieth century, santoor or shata - tantri veena as it was called in the ancient times, was used as an accompaniment to a specific type of singing called sufiana mausiqi. when pandit uma dutt sharma, a renowned vocalist from jammu, and a disciple of pt. bade ramdasji of benaras spotted it, he was convinced of the potentialities of the instrument. after extensive research on the instrument he bestowed the responsibility of establishing it on the concert platform on his only son shivkumar. the rest, as they say, is history .

pandit shivkumar sharma is an indian classical musician and a renowned ‘santoor’ player. this biography of shivkumar sharma provides detailed information about his childhood, life, achievements, works & timeline .
pandit shivkumar sharma is an indian classical musician and a renowned ‘santoor’ player; santoor is an indian folk instrument. born to a trained vocalist and tabla player, he was destined to become a classical musician from an early age. his father recognized potential in a folk instrument ‘santoor’ and encouraged him to learn playing it. shivkumar sharma became famous because of his improvisations with santoor and he revolutionized it as one of the most riveting classical instruments. he is single - handedly responsible for making the santoor a popular classical instrument. he introduced the new chromatic arrangement of notes and increased the range to cover full three octaves. he also improvised a new technique of playing with which he could sustain notes and maintain sound continuity. he is the sole musician to have brought santoor at par with other classical instruments and established it across the globe with his sheer brilliance and conviction. he is among those rare classical musicians who have been able to achieve success in the world of film music as well. his compositions for blockbusters such as ‘silsila’ and ‘chandni’ are a manifestation of his musical brilliance. with his creative genius, he has created a new genre of instrumental music. through his performances over a period of more than half a century, he has created millions of new listeners and ardent fans of indian classical music .
he started learning music at the age of five. initially, he learnt playing tabla and was trained to be a vocalist by his father and guru. when he was 12, he started playing at the local radio station in jammu .
his father did extensive research on santoor, a string musical instrument, and dreamt of his son becoming the first musician to play indian classical music on it. when he was 13, he started learning santoor to fulfill his father’s dream .
in 1955, he delivered his first public performance in bombay (present day mumbai). following year, he composed the background music for one of the scenes for the movie ‘jhanak jhanak payal baje’. his first solo album was recorded in 1960 .
in 1967, he teamed up with flautist hariprasad chaurasia and musician brij bhushan kabra, to produce a concept album titled ‘call of the valley’. the album turned out to be one of the greatest hits in indian classical music .
throughout his career, he released numerous innovative experimental albums on santoor music including ‘the glory of strings – santoor’ (1991), ‘varshā - a homage to the rain gods’ (1993), ‘hundred strings of santoor’ (1994), ‘the pioneer of santoor (1994) ’, ‘sampradaya’ (1999), ‘vibrant music for reiki’ (2003), ‘essential evening chants’ (2007) ‘the last word in santoor’ (2009) and sangeet sartaj (2011) .
he also composed music along with flautist hari prasad chaurasia, for many films such as ‘silsila’ (1981), ‘faasle’ (1985), ‘chandni’ (1989), ‘lamhe’ (1991) and ‘darr’ (1993). they came to be known as the' shiv - hari' music duo .
in 2002, he published his autobiography titled ‘journey with a hundred strings: my life in music’. he continues to teach santoor music in the guru shishya tradition, without charging a fee from his students, who come to him from all the corners of india as well as different parts of the world like japan, germany, australia and america .
his most significant contribution to music has been towards the popularization of the folk classical instrument ‘santoor’. he carried out experiments with santoor for many years to make it more suitable for his classical technique. the modified santoor which is played in present days has got 31 bridges with a total of 91 strings. it has got a range of three octaves with a chromatic tuning. he is also known for creating a technique for smoother gliding between music notes in order to imitate human voice quality .
in 1985, he was awarded an honorary citizenship of the city of baltimore, usa .
in 1986, he received the ‘sangeet natak akademi award’, the highest indian recognition given to practicing artists. it is awarded by the sangeet natak akademi, india' s national academy of music, dance & drama .
in 1990, he was awarded the ‘maharashtra gaurav puraskar’. the following year, he received the honorary doctorate from the university of jammu .
in 1991, he was conferred with the ‘padma shri’, the fourth highest civilian award in the republic of india .
he also received a ‘special award for outstanding music and sale of film’ for 1991 romantic film ‘lamhe’ and 1993 romantic psychological thriller film ‘darr’ .
in 1998, he became the winner of the ‘ustad hafiz ali khan award’ .
in 2001, he became the recipient of ‘padma vibhusan’, the second highest civilian award in the republic of india .

once in a long while is born a man whose efforts change the face of reality, whose conviction forces destiny to rewrite itself, whose genius has an impact across centuries. to state that pandit shivkumar sharma has created history in the world of music, is an understatement, an inadequate attempt to capture the maestro’s achievements and contributions. after all how many musicians can boast of single handedly bringing forth an obscure, almost unknown instrument to the level of being “indispensable” on the concert platform! musicians and their instruments do become synonyms, but how often does an instrument acquire an identity because of a musician !
however, the road to success was far from smooth. after several radio broadcasts and performances he appeared for his national level concert in mumbai in 1955. this was a turning point in his life where he received applause as well as was severely criticized by the orthodox sections of musicians and listeners. santoor according to them was not a complete instrument on which one could play classical music. instead of getting disheartened or discouraged, in his characteristic manner he took these criticisms as a challenge. after in - depth research, he made some important modifications on this hundred stringed instrument, like a new chromatic arrangement of notes and increased the range to cover full three octaves. besides, he also created a new technique of playing with which he could sustain notes and maintain sound continuity. today santoor is at par with any classical instrument, well established not just all over india, but across the globe .
with his creative genius, pt. shivkumar sharma has created a new genre of instrumental music. through his performance career of over a half century, he has created millions of new listeners and ardent fans of indian classical music. his performances are such a brilliant combination of rich knowledge, perfect skill and abundant spontaneous creativity, that all the sections of listeners feel enriched. little surprise that his concerts are awaited by connoisseurs, music students, musicians and lay listeners alike .
he believes in the immortality of this great heritage of indian classical music and wishes to leave no stone unturned to make it so. with this aim in mind, he has been imparting his knowledge to the next generation of musicians. so deep is his conviction that despite no institutional or government support, he has been teaching in the guru shishya tradition, without charging a fee from his students, who come to him from all the corners of india as well as different parts of the world like japan, germany, australia and america .
while he never compromises on the purity of music, pt. sharma’s open minded approach has resulted in some of the most popular, innovative experimental albums like call of the valley, feelings, mountains, etc. in fact he is among those rare musicians who have been able to create successfully in the world of film music as well. now for over forty years santoor is an indispensable part of indian film music. his compositions for blockbusters like silsila, lamhe, chandni, darr, etc. are all time favourites across the country .
music, he believes, is food for the soul. naturally, his music is meditative and soothing at the same time. his immense faith in the ancient wisdom of vedanta has resulted in creation of music for shlokas from the upanishads and a new raag called antardhwani .

please accept my compliments for your good work with no - frills, ‘as a matter of fact’ reporting. i have been watching your reports on farmer suicides and have after a degree of contemplation decided to plunge in to bail out atleast a farmer’s family that he left behind especially one that left his children vulnerable to exploitation as bonded labour, due to their inability to repay the debts their father incurred. i along with some like minded friends and colleagues intend to pool up self - earned money to bring a positive change in someone’s life. would appreciate your direction and good advice in this regard. many thanks in advance and for the reportage, without which the thought of bailing out a farmer’s family in misery wouldn’t have occured .
by the way, the photograph with yourself and sudhir on the temple steps is so impressive. may happiness, health and prosperity be yours forever .
