Dr. M Balamuralikrishna, a legendary Carnatic musician, has won innumerable awards as a vocalist, composer, music director, play back singer & actor! This is what Pujya Swami Chinmayanandaji has said about Balamuraliji: "Music - when it flows from Balamuralikrishna, one realizes what the gopikas felt in their ecstasy of Divine Love.” Fondly known as the “Thyagaraja of the Present Era”, nearly 400 of his compositions include Varnams, Kritis, Javalis, Devotional songs and Thillanas. At the tender age of fifteen, he was already a popular performing artist who composed songs in all the 72 Melakarta ragas. A born musician and child prodigy, Balamuraliji has given over 26,000 performances around the globe, to date. His versatile and fluid renditions and his clear diction in almost any Indian dialect has earned him titles such as „Sangeetha Saraswati and „Naada Maharishi. His latest accolade is the „Padma-Vibhushan, the second-highest honor awarded by the Government of India. Balamuraliji’s advice to future generations: “Concentrate on Art for Art’s sake, and not for opportunities!” Pt Ronu Majumdar, India's Ace Flutist began his career at a very tender age as a flutist for the legendary film music composer, R.D. Burman, and evolved as a classical concert solo artist, groomed by music scholars Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao, and Pt. Ravi Shankar. Deep rooted as he is in traditional Hindustani Classical Music, due to Ronuji's creative improvisations, he is also coupled with formidable knowledge of 'World Music', having recorded albums with Phillips Glass and the famous Beatles personality George Harrison. Ronuji's own innovation is the "Shankh Bamsuri", a flute that adds an extra dimension at the lower scales. Besides innumerable National awards such as Aditya Birla, Sahara Pariwar, Kumar Gandharva, & Pt. Jasraj awards, Ronuji has also won two Grammy nominations and composed the original score for the IMAX production of „Mystic India. "Ronu is definitely the 'Dr. Feelgood' of the Indian Flute" says the famous western guitarist Ry Cooder. By virtue of his phenomenal in-born talent, he and his Bansuri are practically synonymous, rendering simply mesmerizing and divine performances! Accompanying Artists B.U. Ganesh Prasad • Violin An extremely talented youngster, he had his initial training from Basavanagudi Natraj of Bangalore and advanced training under the able guidance of the violin maestro, V.V.

  • INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC Indian Classical Music Originated from the Indian Subcontinent and Was Divided Into Two Traditions in the 12Th Century
    INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC Indian classical music originated from the Indian subcontinent and was divided into two traditions in the 12th century. The north Indian style is called Hindustāni and the south is known as Carnatic or Karnataka sangitam. The division of the two traditions took place as Arab and Persian musical practices slowly came to influence the northern parts of the subcontinent, blending with the Hindu traditions. Both traditions date back to the chanting of sacred Vedic scriptures, which developed into a system of musical notes and rhythmic cycles. Both traditions share the use of rāgas (a melodic framework for improvisation, composed in a set scale), the rhythmic systems of tāl (the cycle of beats used in a composition), and the practice of rhythmically free improvisation, ensuring each performance is unique. Due to the prominence of improvisation in both traditions, and written notation being scarce, the music is often passed down the generations from master to disciple through oral teaching and direct demonstration. Traditionally, disciples moved into the home of their masters to ensure the tutorage was undertaken at the highest level. The development of the traditions is also influenced by gharrānrās – a community of performers who share a distinctive style and standard of classical music based on their respective regions. The gharrānrā concept arose in the 19th century, when the interest in royal court music began to dwindle and performers were forced to play elsewhere. Many gharrānrās take the names of regions from which they come, expressing their identities and retaining their lineage. Before a community of practitioners can be considered a gharrānrā, they must pass down the style through three generations.
