Full program notes

We'll present a mini concert of sorts, including a few signature compositions in our style. We'll also explore various improvisational aspects, including thanam, a pulsating improvisatory format which our style is known for. Please join us for a relaxed, meditative experience.

Historical context

I come from a rare Veena tradition in the Karaikudi lineage, which spans over three centuries. We are particularly known for our precision with the instrument, and in recent generations have merged instrument and vocal traditions to form a more cohesive art form.
