Dear friends,
As part of a major grant I received from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, I am delighted to present a 2-part performance titled Tradition - An Evolving Continuum. In the first part, I will present a conventional Carnatic music concert drawing upon various traditions that have shaped our music to what it is today. In the second part, I will present a new vocal-instrumental ensemble comprising top-class Carnatic professionals from the United States. The ensemble will feature new Carnatic pieces composed by me, and performed on vocals and instruments of Indian and western origin. The artists and instruments are Vinod Seetharaman (Mridangam & Collaboration), V V S Murari (Violin), Nirmala Rajasekar (Vina), Prasant Radhakrishnan (Saxophone), N Muralikrishnan (Keyboard), Ravi Balasubramanian (Ghatam) and Akshay Anantapadmanabhan (Konnakkol and Kanjira).
Please visit www.carnatictradition.com to see some interesting blogs and video interviews of the participating artists talking about their respective instruments.
The event details are:
Date: Nov 7, 2015
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: The Painted Bride Art Center (www.paintedbride.org)

Re: Tradition - An Evolving Continuum
Kiranavali.
Great to hear about this
You are yet another torch bearer of a great tradition in CM along with your brothers and cousin (soon,your children). You are walking the way your father led you, in the tradition of your grandfather!
Your ability and hard work in coaching the children is something many rasikas have heard (watched) admiringly during the Cleveland Festivals. Your whole family pours its efforts into presenting music, in particular, children's music. These kids have taken to CM with their hearts and souls and more are being groomed
And Vinod Seetharaman collaborates!
Best wishes to all the artistes...
