Congratulations to a truly birlliant Vainika Vidushi Dr Jayanthi Kumaresh . I was mentally thinking she will get it either this year or next year . Also to other awardees , they all deserve the award (Sugandha Kalamegham (Lovely vidushi from mainly DKJ School)/Trichur Narendran (he is been our forumite , sishya from Palakkad Raghu) , Injikudi (Our late Nageswaran would be super elated with Injikudi subramanian - nadaswaram) and TKVR (brilliant violinist from Trichy who plays usually in chennai during dec season ) and Dr Bala). Personally not heard Dr Bala at all, he is from Brinda Muktha school , few folks who attended his cleveland concerts have been super impressed with him . Hoping to hear Dr Bala soon

------
Jayanthi represents the sixth generation of a family of musicians.[12] She began formal study at age three with her mother, Lalgudi Rajalakshmi.[13][14] At thirteen she entered the Gurukul of her aunt, Vidushi Padmavathy Ananthagopalan, remaining there for twenty-two years,[14] and later studied with S. Balachander.[1]

She received further guidance from her maternal uncle, violinist Lalgudi Jayaraman, and from T. Brinda, T. R. Subramaniam, and Thanjavur Shankara Iyer.[2]

Congratulations to all the awardees. A good list this year, indeed!

Dr.Jayanthi Kumaresh, a highly endowed artiste with a depth of knowledge which in her art blossoms as rich emotive expression--is a fine choice for the SK award. How well nourished she is from the family's rich wells of music! Married to an excellent artiste too.

Sangeetha kala Acharya awards go to two of the worthy ones.

As for Dr. Balasubrahmanyan, what a topnotch traditional line again--that of the Wesleyan family! Dr.S.Ramanathan, Dhanammal's vamsAvaLi, John Higgins Bhagavathar and others! Yes, professor and performer, he surely deserves the award.
