A leading female vocalist of the country, Subhra Guha is regarded as one of the finest female exponents of the Agra gharana. Hailing from a music loving family, Subhra received her early training from Late Shri Satish Bhowmick and subsequently, took advanced training from one of the veterans of the Agra gharana, Late Pandit Sunil Bose. In 1982, she joined ITC Sangeet Research Academy in Kolkata where Pandit Sunil Bose was a Guru. For ten years, she received uninterrupted training from him as a scholar of the Academy. Later, she received training and valuable guidance from the stalwarts Late Pandit K G Ginde, Late Pandit D T Joshi and Pandit Vijay Kichlu.

She is presently a Guru at the ITC Sangeet Research Academy.

Possessing striking tunefulness and exquisite tonal malleability, Subhra’s voice is remarkably suited for khayal recital. Her style of rendition displays a mellow blending of vidya, impeccable raagdari and a rich gayaki that is both creative and aesthetically appealing. Open throated akar, her taans and bol-bants are extraordinary features of her gayaki and her expertise and command over laya is outstanding. Subhra has also gained a special recognition for her thumri renditions in the Poorab Ang; a style which she learnt from Late Pandit D T Joshi. Over the years, Guha has intelligently maintained the balance between the two streams of khayaland thumri keeping intact the academic excellence with measured blend of aesthetics and musical semantics.

A regular A grade artist of Akashvani (All India Radio) and Doordarshan, Subhra has performed at practically all prestigious platforms in India including Sawai Gandharva, Pune; Harivallabh Sangeet Sammelan, Jalandhar; Dover Lane Music Conference, Kolkata; Saptak Music Festival, Ahmedabad and ITC Sangeet Sammellans in Delhi and Kolkata. She has been invited to perform regularly by various institutions and organisations in USA, Canada, France, Germany, UK, Bangladesh and many other countries. Subhra has also had numerous teaching assignments across the globe and recorded several albums with HMV, SaReGaMa, Music Today & various recording companies in the USA.

As recently as July - August of 2011, Subhra visited London as a visiting professor at the behest of Bharitiya Vidya Bhavan; an institution for Music & Dance with which she has enjoyed a lengthy relationship.

Recently she has been Awarded "Girija Shankar Puraskar" by West Bengal State Govt
