Music and Varanasi

I've heard Varanasi is a prime location when it comes to exploring India Classical Music.
I'm really interested.

Anyone knows anything in this area?

There is an academy which offers classical Indian music courses. I had met these musicians twice when they were giving concerts in Europe and they were giving workshops for schools.They are very nice and told me about their academy.
It is pandit Shivant Mishra and his son Deobrat .
The address of their music school is:
Academy of Indian Classical Music
D44/182 Ramapura
Varanasi 221001
phone:542-2455672

Well that is a conincidence, I have been under training from Pandit Shivant Mishra for about 2 years when I was about 11 - 13 years old. This sounds great, it will be a scene when I see him again in Varanasi, damn how could I forget that he moved to Varanasi!!

I've been out of India most of my adolescence, what about other good locations for exploring and sharing Indian Classical music?

I'm not interested in workshops, since I find them too shallow, but probably places where people perform and listeners listen, something of that sort...and, can I find such sort in Varanasi?

Thanks....your post really bought back some good old jewel memories!!
