বাংলার গর্ব , প্রখ্যাত পাতিয়ালা ঘরনার গায়িকা চলেগেলেন,স্বামী পণ্ডিত প্রসুন বন্দোপাধ্যায় আগেই প্রয়াত .. তাঁদের প্রনাম জানাই.
(Born in Meerut on 28th March 1930, Meera Banerjee was initiated into music by her musicologist father Shailendra Kumar Chatterjee. This was followed by a brief period of training under Pandit Chinmoy Lahiri. Meera started performing for All... India Radio (AIR) when she was barely thirteen. She was honoured with the title of ‘Gitashree’ in 1944. In 1950, she started learning from Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali. The fifties and sixties were a particularly prolific period for her. She performed extensively, both in India and abroad, several of her long playing discs were released and she married Prasun Banerjee in February 1957. Her husband joined her as a disciple of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. They also recorded several duets, which were released on disc.

Meera’s performances drew appreciation from senior and contemporary musicians wherever she went.She has also been the recipient of several coveted awards, including the ITC award in 1996 and the West Bengal State Academy Award in 1999. Meera lent her voice to the Bengali feature film ‘Atithi ’. The song won the best music award in an International Festival.

Meera’s many successful music students prove her capability as a consummate trainer. But perhaps the fittest tribute to Meera Banerjee’s singing came from none other than her Ustad himself. He once commented that when Meera sang, it meant profound satisfaction for the entire soul.)
