About Shailesh Ramamurthy
Shailesh Ramamurthy was initiated into carnatic music at a very young age by his family. In his formative years, he has undergone formal tutelage in classical carnatic music for about a decade, learning vocal music from Sri PN Krishnamoorthy, and, in flute, from the late Sri Thiyagaraja Iyer and Sri PS Krishnamoorthy. He has continuously honed his skills by subsequently interacting with various vidwans, and in his quest for self-development in music. He enjoys sharing his knowledge with music aspirants, guiding them primarily on vocal music. His quest is towards a balanced and aesthetic presentation of core classical values, also grounded in grammar and musicology. His interest in musicological treatises made him go through the Chaturdandiprakashika and Sangeeta Sampradaya Pradarshini, also participating in reviewing the English translation of the sangita sampradaya pradarshini. He has published papers on the acoustic features of the carnatic flute. He has also been guiding flute makers in the proper design and construction of Indian flutes, given his own involvement and experience in this area.

Shailesh was awarded the prestigious ‘President Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma Gold medal’ for his M.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He has been a domain expert in image, video and signal processing for the last twenty years.

Looking forward to having you on 09 October.

Dear Sri Anand,
My congratulations on your selecting such a great domain expert as Sri Shailesh for this concert, also in the company of two very talented artistes.

Did you notice that you, Sri Krishnaprasad, Sri Shailesh, Sri Anand, Sri Akshay, are all engineers? Since I am also one, I say, "More to our tribe"!

I won't be able to attend this concert. But I know the success track record of Sri Krishnaprasad (Mr Midas), Shailesh and yourself. So I am sure the hall will be full of true rasikas.
God bless!

"Mr.Midas" - needs an explanation. Mr G V Krishnaprasad, (please read more about him in Sruti Sept 2016 issue), along with his entire family of siblings and their progeny, has spent all his wealth, time, and effort to conduct over 1500 concerts and lecdems, all free for admission, and in the process brought to the fore golden talents among artistes, and provided golden moments for all rasikas. This kind of alchemy is rare indeed.
God bless such a soul, and such a family.

Shailesh Ramamurthy, Concert Update

Post by anand_900315 »

The Melody, Soukyam, Kalapramanam and the perfect grammar of Shailesh Ramamurthy made this concert really enjoyable. We will all remember this concert for a long long time to come. What really marked the concert was the purity and the sublime music that emanated from Shailesh’s flute and it was a divine experience.

There is something very special about the ‘Sri Rama Lalitha Kala Mandira’ concert hall (ref. to Sruti article on ‘Sri Rama Lalitha Kala Mandira’, September Edition). This venue has seen many of todays giants perform first as an youngster. Shri. GV Krishnaprasad, over the last 6 decades has seen many youngsters perform here and grow to be a great musician be it ‘Ranjani and Gayatri’ or ‘Sanjay Subrahmanyan’.

The hall was full though it is a holiday season. Very thankful to Shri. Nageswaran S for attending the concert. We missed Sachi though. Quite a few young practitioners attended the concert and I am sure they enjoyed every bit of it.

The list:
1) Saraseeruhasanapriye, Nattai, Aadi, Puliyur Doraiswamy Iyer (Ragam short sketch and Swaram)
2) Hiranmayeem Lakshmim, Lalitha, Rupakam, Muthuswamy Dikshitar (Raga short sketch and Swaram)
3) Ne pogada kunte, Varali, Kanda Chapu, Saint Thyagaraja (Ragam, Swaram at ‘neeraja nayana…’)
4) Sarasamukhi sakala bhagyade, Gowda Malhar, Rupakam, Muthaiah Bhagavathar
5) Janani Ninnu vina, Reethi Gowla, Misra Chapu, Subbaraya Sastry (Ragam, Swaram)
6) Maravairi Ramani, Nasikabhusini, Rupakam, Saint Thyagaraja
7) Gathi Neevani, Todi, Aadi, Saint Thyagaraja (Ragam, Swaram, Tani Avarthanam)
8) Sri Viswanatham, Chaturdasha Ragamalika, Aadi, Muthuswamy Dikshitar
9) Kodu Bega Divyamathi, Saraswati, Aadi, Purandaradasa
10) Karpagame kadaikkan parai, Madhyamavathi, Aadi, Papanasam Sivan
11) Mangalam

Anand Viswanathan on Violin and Akshay Anand on Mridangam provided excellent support and shared the honours.

All in all, an evening very well spent and sure to have made Late Shri. W Srinivasamurthy very happy on whose memory the concert was held.

Anand S
