Hariprasad Chaurasia performs in Hyderabad|date=26 September 2009}}</ref> in the [[Hindustani classical music|Hindustani classical tradition]].

==Early life==
Chaurasia was born in Allahbad (1938) (officially called [[Prayagraj]]) in the Indian state of [[Uttar Pradesh]].<ref name=datta>{{cite book|last=Datta|first=Madhumita|date=2008|title=Let's Know Music and Musical Instruments of India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qxsy28eStmAC&pg=PT53|publisher=Star Publications|isbn=978-1905863297|page=64}}</ref> His mother died when he was six years old. He had to learn music without his father's knowledge, as his father wanted him to become a wrestler. Chaurasia did go to the [[Akhada]] and trained with his father for some time, although he also started learning music and practising at his friend's house.<ref name=indiatoday>{{cite journal|last=Kalidas|first=S|date=6 July 1998|title=Flamboyant Flautist|url=http://www.india-today.com/itoday/06071998/arts2.html|journal=India Today|access-date=23 November 2008|archive-date=16 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160116154405/http://www.india-today.com/itoday/06071998/arts2.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

He has stated, {{blockquote|I was not any good at wrestling. I went there only to please my father. But maybe because of his strength and stamina, I'm able to play the ''bansuri'' even to this day.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Calamur |first1=Harini |title=From akhadas to concerts, the journey of flute maestro Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/standpoint-from-akhadas-to-concerts-the-journey-of-flute-maestro-pandit-hariprasad-chaurasia-2100768 |access-date=25 November 2020 |work=DNA India |date=1 July 2015 |language=en}}</ref>|Hariprasad Chaurasiaa}}

==Career==
[[File:Hari Prasad and Rakesh Chaurasia.jpg|thumb|Hari Prasad and Rakesh Chaurasia in concert]]
Chaurasia started learning vocal music from his neighbour, Rajaram, at the age of 15. Later, he switched to playing the flute under the tutelage of [[Bholanath Prasanna]] of [[Varanasi]] for eight years. He joined the [[All India Radio]], [[Cuttack]], [[Odisha]] in 1957 and worked as a composer and performer.<ref name=datta/><ref name=essays>{{cite book |last=Kumar |first=Raj |date=2003 |title=Essays on Indian Music |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wwwX6DWfn3gC&pg=PA206|publisher=Discovery Publishing House |isbn=978-8171417193 |page=220}}</ref> Much later, while working for All India Radio, he received guidance from the reclusive [[Annapurna Devi]], daughter of [[Baba Allaudin Khan]]. She only agreed to teach him if he was willing to unlearn all that he had learnt until then.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.firstpost.com/business/learning-from-the-master-corporate-lessons-from-flute-maestro-pandit-hariprasad-chaurasia-2188663.html |title=Learning from the master: Corporate lessons from flute maestro Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia |website=Firstpost.com |date=9 April 2015 |access-date=30 June 2017}}</ref> Another version is that she only agreed to teach him after he took the decision to switch from right-handed to left-handed playing to show her his commitment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kavitachhibber.com/main/main.jsp?id=hariprasad |title=Kavita Chhibber |publisher=Kavita Chhibber |access-date=30 June 2017}}</ref> In any case Chaurasia plays left-handed to this day.

Apart from classical music, Hariprasad has collaborated with [[Shivkumar Sharma]], forming a group called [[Shiv-Hari]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/2000/04/06/stories/09060701.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160109132116/http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/2000/04/06/stories/09060701.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 January 2016|title=Enchantment from Eden valley|access-date=26 August 2018|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|date=6 April 2000}}</ref> The pair composed music for many popular movies, including Silsila and Chandni, and created some highly popular songs. Chaurasia also collaborated with [[Bhubaneswar Mishra (Musician)|Bhubaneswar Mishra]], forming the pair "Bhuban-Hari" (in line with Shiv-Hari), and the pair composed music for many Odia movies, creating numerous songs that were hugely popular in the state. These include Muje janena kaha baata (sung by [[Suman Kalyanpur]]; movie: Gapa helebi Sata); and all songs from Maa o Mamata, and many more.

Chaurasia's nephew and pupil [[Rakesh Chaurasia]] is a highly accomplished flautist now, and has been performing globally with such eminent maestros as Ustad Zakir Hussain.

He serves as the artistic director of the World Music Department at the Rotterdam Music Conservatory in the Netherlands{{citation needed|date=February 2018}}. He was also the founder of the Vrindavan Gurukul in Mumbai (opened 2006) and Vrindavan Gurukul in Bhubaneshwar (opened 2010). Both of these institutes are schools dedicated to training students in [[bansuri]] in the [[Guru-shishya tradition]].<ref name=connected>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/pandit-hari-prasad-chaurasia-concert/article8504727.ece| title=Blown away by the master|work=The Hindu|date=22 April 2016|access-date=28 April 2016|author=Manjari Sinha}}</ref>
