Whether it is a traditional Kutcheri or a high-energy fusion show, I do not just show up to sing. We coordinate the sound checks, the ensemble lineup, and the repertoire, be it Kannada Devaranamas or a complex Ragam Tanam Pallavi, well in advance to ensure the space is ready for that specific musical mood. My musical journey is a balance between keeping the sanctity of Carnatic roots and exploring new creative avenues. I trained under the legendary Vidushis Ranjani-Gayatri, and that traditional discipline forms the base for everything I do. ### Types of Performances I tailor my concerts to the setting and the audience. For traditional venues, I perform standard Kutcheris, complete with the full Carnatic ensemble of violin, mridangam, and ghatam. These are meditative, structured performances where we delve into extensive manodharma, raga alapana, and the kritis of the Trinity. When the mood calls for something different, I dive into devotional bhajan sessions. These are focused on creating a soulful, interactive space, often featuring multilingual selections including Marathi Abhangs and Hindi bhajans. For more modern setups, I curate fusion sets that blend classical ragas with electric instrumentation and contemporary beats, which work well for corporate events or private gatherings looking for a fresh, high-energy musical experience. ### My Approach to Live Music Music is a form of bhakti for me. Whether I am singing on a grand stage in Chennai or performing for an international tour in the USA or Australia, my goal remains the same: to create a space of connection. I am equally comfortable with a structured classical concert or an experimental thematic production like 'Chidambara Rahasyam' where we weave narrative, music, and dance together. If you are planning an event and want to discuss which style of performance fits your audience, send me a message. We can walk through the technical requirements and the musical lineup to make sure the event flows exactly as you envision. ## About Spoorthi Rao I am Spoorthi. Music is my spiritual journey, and I feel blessed to share it through traditional Carnatic concerts and modern fusion sets. I am just as happy singing a devotional bhajan as I am performing a high-energy fusion track for a crowd.
