Musicians Lakshay and Ayush Mohan first met cello maestro Barry Phillips during their training with Pandit Ravi Shankar. “My initial connection with him was when he hired me as a celloist in 1996. I went on to become his transcriber,” shares Phillips. “He invited Aayush, Lakshay and me to perform at The Grammy Museum in LA where we did a piece together. Our current collaboration has many more tracks. Lakshya and Aayush have blended Indian Classical ragas with Western Classical music that is inspired by the compositions of Bach,” he adds. The musicians are the only Indian duo to have been invited to perform at the prestigious Grammy museum.
