About As Guest of Honor & Inaugurator
When I attend an event, I like to be fully present rather than just a face on the stage. Whether it is lighting the lamp for a music conference in Malleswaram or blessing a young student during their first arangetram, I truly enjoy connecting with the community. I try to share insights from my 50-year journey with the Veena, making each appearance a warm and meaningful interaction for everyone involved!!!!!!
Over the years, I have been part of countless celebrations, from academic programs at Reva University to traditional music festivals across Karnataka. My goal is always to bring encouragement and a sense of shared joy to your program.
What to expect when I join your event
- Ceremonial Participation: I am happy to participate in lamp lighting, felicitation protocols, and other traditional ceremonies that mark the start of your event.
- Meaningful Engagement: I prefer brief, heartfelt interactions over long, formal speeches. I often share stories about my experiences with the Tarangini Veena or thoughts on the future of Carnatic music.
- Support for Emerging Talent: I have a particular interest in student debut performances or arangetrams. Witnessing a young artist step onto the stage for the first time is deeply special, and I am honored to support them.
I am comfortable in diverse settings, whether it is a formal concert hall, an intimate community center, or an open-air theater. If you have an upcoming event, I would love to hear about it. Reach out so we can discuss how to make your celebration a success!!!!!!
