Ragasudha Hall, Rasikas Welcome.
Carnatic music is a priceless treasure, and Aishwarya Shankar’s contribution to this art form is truly remarkable. A dedicated disciple of her Guru, Smt. Suguna Varadachari, she continues to strive tirelessly to deepen and refine her musical knowledge and her performances are beautiful and enriching. Her commitment extends beyond performance through the Indira Ranganathan Trust, honoring her first Guru. Sunaadalahari, under the guidance of Smt. Suguna Varadachari, nurtures and inspires countless students, carrying forward a rich musical legacy. At Naada Inbam, we are delighted to feature this wonderful musician in a series dedicated to my father, SVK. She is accompanied by Sri Madan Mohan, a young, top-class violinist and a favorite at Ragasudha, known for his melodious and sensitive accompaniment. Sri K. Arun Prakash, a gifted artist with a deep and multidimensional understanding of music, will make us experience the music more intensely with his mridangam accompaniment. Completing the ensemble is Anirudh Athreya, a brilliant and dynamic kanjira artist, whose presence adds an extra spark to the concert. Together, this stellar team promises a truly delightful musical experience tomorrow. Dear Rasikas, I hope to see you all tomorrow evening at Ragasudha.

Naada Inbam - SVK Birthday Concert Series
16.04.26 Thursday 6.15 p.m.
SVK Birthday Concert -
Dr Sumithra Vasudev - Vocal,
Vidushi Charulatha Ramanujam - Violin,
Vidwan B Ganapathiraman - Mridangam.
Ragasudha Hall, Rasikas Welcome.
If SVK, my father were alive today, he would be immensely proud to see the way his protégés have gone on to become remarkable musicians standing tall, bearing aloft the flag of Carnatic music in its ultimate essence, guided by the age-old traditional values handed over to them by their legendary Gurus.
Sumithra Vasudev was one of Appa’s favourite singers, all the more so because of her rigorous tutelage under R. Vedavalli mami—whose music needs no introduction or endorsement from the likes of us. Suffice it to say that Sumithra has learned, imbibed, and internalised mami’s bani over so many years, singing alongside her with such dedication, that she can well be regarded as a model Vedavalli of the present generation.
Her rich voice defies stereotypes. There is no shrillness,no lightness, no floating melodies and yet, the connoisseurs and uninitiated rasikas alike find magic in her music.
In Charulatha Ramanujam, Sumithra has all she could ask for to match her own thoughts and rendering- bhava, manodharma, sweetness and richness of tone.
Ganapathiraman is yet another favourite of SVK and his cheerful demeanour as he unleashes pattern after pattern with no compromise on sowkhyam is sure to thrill SVK as he smiles down on the Hall tomorrow. Dear Rasikas, let us celebrate the birthday of this remarkable personality whose passion for music crystallised into the construction of this magnificent hall which has given listening pleasure to so many in so many years. Your presence would be the best birthday gift ( apart from the concert of course!). Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at 6.15pm
