Abhisek Lahiri (born September 24, 1983) is an Indian classical sarod player. He trained in the three major gharanas of sarod: Shahjahanpur, Maihar gharana, and Senia Bangash (Gwalior), under his father and guru Pt. Alok Lahiri. He is primarily a part of the Maihar gharana. [1]
Abhisek began performing in public at age 11. His first significant national recognition came in 1997 when Hariprasad Chaurasia invited him to perform at the "Saath Saath Festival". That same year, he made his international debut in the Netherlands at the World Kinder Festival, where he was hailed as a 'Wonder Kid'. This accolade led to performances across Europe, the U.K., the U.S., Canada, Sri Lanka, Japan, Bangladesh, and Singapore. Abhisek also performed with his father, becoming the first Indian artists at the European Parliament in France, the Cannes World Music Festival, and at Canada Culture Days in Toronto.

In 2017, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations appointed Abhisek as a Cultural Delegate to Morocco and Cyprus. His music albums gained recognition; "Sparkling Sarod" was nominated at the Global Indian Music Academy (GiMA) Awards in 2010, and in 2014, his album "Mood Of Puriya Kalyan" was nominated alongside Indian music legends such as Hariprasad Chaurasia, Shivkumar Sharma, Zakir Hussain, and Rashid Khan.

The Maihar Gharana or Maihar-Senia Gharana is a gharana or school of classical music, a style of Indian classical music originating in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent. The school was formed by Allaudin Khan in the princely state of Maihar, now in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, and hence the name. Allauddin Khan learnt music from Vina player Wazir Khan, an exponent of the Senia gharana. The Maihar gharana is therefore sometimes referred to as the Maihar-Senia gharana.
