Sruti Sarathy (www.srutisarathy.com) is a rare artist who possesses both mastery in the rigorous classical form as well as a boundary-pushing musical vision. Trained in the renowned Lalgudi style of Carnatic violin, Sruti has accompanied leading Carnatic musicians like Sudha Raghunathan, TM Krishna, Flute Shashank, and many others. Sruti’s soulful sound brings out the voice of the Indian violin in a contemporary and imaginative way.
Sumesh Narayanan’s (www.sumeshnarayanan.com) prominence in the realm of Carnatic percussion is nothing short of extraordinary, distinguishing him as one of the most exceptional and highly sought-after artists of the present generation. He is a regular collaborator of top Indian musicians, like Bombay Jayashri and Sikkil Gurucharan. Sumesh’s dynamic playing style electrifies audiences, whether he is delivering a classical Carnatic performance or participating in experimental, fusion, or contemporary musical explorations.
