Born in the family of traditional legendary musicians, Apoorva Gokhale has carved a niche for herself as one of the sought after well-known vocalists of the younger generation with a firm background of Gwalior Gharana. She has an impressive musical lineage and has proudly and responsibly inherited the musical qualities from her grandfather, the late Gayanacharya Pandit Gajananrao Joshi and her greatgrandfather Pandit Antubua Joshi, an eminent court musician in the erstwhile state of Aundh, district Satara. At a very tender age of five, she initially received training from her grandfather Pandit Gajananrao Joshi. After his sad demise she received rigorous taleem in the form of guru-shishya parampara from her Uncle and her Guru Pandit Madhukar Joshi, an eminent vocalist and violinist for more than 25 years. Simultaneously she also received guidance from renowned vocalist of the same tradition, Padmashri Pt. Ulhas Kashalkarji, her aunt Dr. Sucheta Bidkar. She had also been taking guidance from her father Manohar Joshi, Pandit Shankar Abhyankar, an eminent sitarist and composer, Smt. Manik Bhide, Smt. Ashwini Bhide–Deshpande, Pandit Yeshwant Mahale and Pandit Arun Kashalkar . Apoorva‟s versatile temperament and approach to music does not allow her to rest anywhere for she knows that there is much more far beyond from what knowledge she has acquired and imbibed in musical field and hence she must perforce fathom the oceanic depths of music. Apoorva has always stood out with flying colours. While she was still at school and college, she showed strong inclination and promise to give her best to music and had bagged many prestigious prizes, scholarships and awards as she went along in her performing career. Some of the highlights of her academic and musical career are:Past Events (5)
