## About Veena Concerts & Live Performances

### Music That Moves Me (And You)

Honestly, the veena is my whole world. Performing Carnatic veena solo recitals or teaming up for a veena jugalbandi live show, I put my heart into every stage - whether it's a crowded festival or a quiet temple corner. My schedule is always mad, but the pure joy of playing makes it worth all the travel and late-night rehearsals.  

### Where I Play

- Big sabhas, music festivals (like Bengaluru International Arts Festival, Ramanavami)  
- Cultural and temple events (Kannada Rajyotsava, Shivarathri, Dasara - honestly, nothing beats that temple vibe)
- Private gigs: I've played at farmhouses, companies, even tiny living rooms - anywhere music fits

### What You’ll Hear

- Carnatic veena solo recitals, with awesome co-artists on mridangam, violin, ghatam
- Veena jugalbandi live shows with Hindustani or Carnatic musicians - sometimes flute, sometimes sitar, always something new
- Larger veena ensemble concert experience, even "Pancha Veena" (five veenas!)  
- Sometimes I pull my students into big group performances for a different energy

### Bangalore Roots, Global Stages

Bangalore is home, but I travel for concerts all over India and even Europe - Germany, Netherlands, you name it. Every audience is different, so each show feels fresh. If you want the veena to fill your space with something special, I’m always up for it.

## Meet your expert

[Suma Sudhindra](https://mytribe.in/drsumasudhindra)

### My story

Hey, I'm Suma. Music and adventure, that’s me! Folks see me with the veena, but I love a challenge. Like, I did the Sandakpoo trek even when everyone said, 'Ayyo, why risk it?' (Oh no, why risk it?) I trained hard, went anyway. Clouds, pain, stunning villages – totally worth it. But it's not just big treks. Even a morning walk at Bannerghatta, sunrise, old friends, and remembering legends like Vimala Rangachar auntie, all make life rich.

### My work

- **Veena performances and jugalbandhi**: I play solo and jugalbandhi concerts, each with its own vibe and surprises.
- **Carnatic music teaching**: I teach veena to all levels, from basics to advanced, at Tarangini Arts Foundation.
- **Workshops and talks**: I run Carnatic veena workshops and speak about our music’s depth and beauty.
- **Creator of Tarangini Veena**: I developed the Tarangini Veena, always exploring new ways in veena music.
- **Guiding students**: Proud to see my students start their own music schools and stores, making their own journeys.
