Sankritilaya is pleased to announce the short (and sweet) North America tour of Vidushi Vani Ramamurthi starting June 4.
Co-artists:
Vidwan Arun Ramamurthi / Shiva Ramamurthi - Violin
Vidwan Vignesh Venkataraman - Mridangam
This young and talent-filled Team is an "All-American" (in fact 'All-Californian') cast.
Vani, a native of LA, and now based in Chennai is a premier disciple of the famed duo Vids Ranjani & Gayatri; already making her presence distinctly felt in the Classic Carnatic Center of Chennai.
More on Vani here.
Vani is supported on the Mridangam by Bay Area's Vidwan Vignesh Venkataraman, aka Viggy, the already storied young disciple of Sangeetha Kalanidhi Vidwan Umayalpuram K Sivaraman - who has become a near-household name in the US & Chennai Carnatic circuits.
The team is rounded off with Vani being accompanied on the Violin by her brothers Arun for the first two concerts (see below) and Shiva for the remaining concerts. The brothers are disciples of veteran Violinist Vidwan Delhi P SunderRajan
