About Concert Announcements
If you are planning to host a concert, please keep in mind that my technical requirements vary by the format. For traditional Kutcheris, I strictly follow a 45-minute sound check window to ensure the acoustic balance with the ensemble is perfect. For fusion shows, we need a different setup with monitors and a dedicated sound engineer, so please let me know your venue details early so we can plan the logistics.
My musical journey is defined by constant learning and the joy of sharing that with you all. Whether it is the traditional acoustics of the Kasturi Srinivasan Hall in Chennai or a high-energy fusion stage at the NMACC in Mumbai, my goal remains the same, to create a space for bhakti.
I categorize my concerts into three distinct formats to suit different vibes:
- Traditional Kutcheri: These are my roots. Expect a structured performance following the Margam, complete with a senior ensemble featuring violin, mridangam, and percussion. I prioritize the authentic Carnatic structure here, often lasting 2.5 hours.
- Devotional Bhajan Sandhya: These are more intimate, focused on Devaranamas and Abhangs. They are perfect for spiritual gatherings where the connection with the audience feels like a shared conversation.
- Fusion Live: These are for when the crowd wants energy. We bring in electric instruments and western harmonies, but the core remains Carnatic.
If you are looking to book a performance, please reach out with the venue details and the type of audience you are expecting. I travel across India, with Bangalore, Chennai, and Mumbai being my regular stops, and I have performed internationally from the USA to Australia. If you have a specific date in mind, check my schedule here first, but feel free to message me about availability. Let us make some music together. 🧿
