Shyama Shastri was the eldest of the Trinity - three most precious of Carnatic composers - Tyagaraja, Muthuswami Diksh*tar, and Shyama Shastri himself. Shyama Shastri was an intense devotee of Devi Kamakshi, and a priest at the temple of Goddess Bangaru Kamakshi, where his forefathers were priests for several years. Most of his compositions are in adoration of Devi Kamakshi.
Sangita Kalanidhi R K Shriramkumar is one of the most highly knowledgeable musicians and all his lec dems are treasures of musical knowledge. His lecture-demonstrations are known for their clarity, depth, and accessibility—making even complex ideas easy to grasp while retaining their profundity. He is accompanied by his devoted team, a circle of sincerity and brilliance, composed of some of the finest classical artists - Vidushi Amritha Murali - Vocal Support, Vidwan Madan Mohan - Violin and Vidwan K Arunprakash - Mridangam.

Ragasudha Hall, Rasikas Welcome.
At Ragasudha we are all fortunate to celebrate Sangeetha Kalanidhi Shri TK Govinda Rao's Birthday along with his Disciples and Family. Shri T. K. Govinda Rao (often fondly referred to as TKG) was indeed a towering figure in Carnatic music, known for his uncompromising classicism and yet his performances were spellbinding even for the layman rasika. He has left behind a rich legacy of music and literature. His books remain invaluable to every student and lover of music. In fact his family is working on bringing out his book on Dasar padams, which was his last wish, soon.
This year the family has chosen Vidushi Aishwarya Vidya Raghunath to sing on his Birthday. Aishwarya is a naturally talented classical musician, deeply devoted to the art of Carnatic music. Her vidwath and passion for the deeply classical music transform each of her performances into a truly captivating and memorable experience. She is accompanied by a team of top-class artists - Vidushi Dr R Hemalatha on the Violin, Vidwan Delhi Sairam on the Mridangam, and Vidwan S Krishna on the Ghatam. Dear Rasikas, this promises to be a truly wonderful celebration of music. Do join us for this special concert, held in memory of the great stalwart, Shri TKG.

Sangeetha Kalanidhi T.K. Govinda Rao was a musician of rare scholarship, whose music was as deeply rooted in tradition as it was enriched by insight and grace. His association with Naada Inbam goes back a long time. He was a great friend of Sri SV Krishnan, our Founder, a bond marked by mutual respect and affection. On the concluding day of the SVK Birthday Series, Naada Inbam is delighted to present a special concert by Amritha Murali, dedicated to Shri TKG, as requested by a well-wisher of the sabha.
Vidushi Amritha Murali is a musician deeply devoted to her art—an eternal student of music who performs out of pure love for music and shares that joy with her students. Her voice, rich and resonant, evokes a sense of divinity and sacredness. She will be accompanied by Sangeetha Kalanidhi R. K. Shriramkumar, a cherished artist of Ragasudha, who will be performing immediately upon his return from the US. Shri. K Arun Prakash, another highly cherished artist at Ragasudha will be the percussion support and his sensitive mridangam accompaniment adds depth and nuance.

Naada Inbam - SVK Birthday Concert Series
16.04.26 Thursday 6.15 p.m.
SVK Birthday Concert -
Dr Sumithra Vasudev - Vocal,
Vidushi Charulatha Ramanujam - Violin,
Vidwan B Ganapathiraman - Mridangam.
Ragasudha Hall, Rasikas Welcome.
If SVK, my father were alive today, he would be immensely proud to see the way his protégés have gone on to become remarkable musicians standing tall, bearing aloft the flag of Carnatic music in its ultimate essence, guided by the age-old traditional values handed over to them by their legendary Gurus.
Sumithra Vasudev was one of Appa’s favourite singers, all the more so because of her rigorous tutelage under R. Vedavalli mami—whose music needs no introduction or endorsement from the likes of us. Suffice it to say that Sumithra has learned, imbibed, and internalised mami’s bani over so many years, singing alongside her with such dedication, that she can well be regarded as a model Vedavalli of the present generation.
Her rich voice defies stereotypes. There is no shrillness,no lightness, no floating melodies and yet, the connoisseurs and uninitiated rasikas alike find magic in her music.
In Charulatha Ramanujam, Sumithra has all she could ask for to match her own thoughts and rendering- bhava, manodharma, sweetness and richness of tone.
Ganapathiraman is yet another favourite of SVK and his cheerful demeanour as he unleashes pattern after pattern with no compromise on sowkhyam is sure to thrill SVK as he smiles down on the Hall tomorrow. Dear Rasikas, let us celebrate the birthday of this remarkable personality whose passion for music crystallised into the construction of this magnificent hall which has given listening pleasure to so many in so many years. Your presence would be the best birthday gift ( apart from the concert of course!). Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at 6.15pm

She will be accompanied by Ragasudha's favorite, the highly talented young vainika, C. Charulatha.
