RAMAKRISHNAN MURTHY CONCERT IN AUSTIN

GRAND CARNATIC MUSICAL CONCERT

Murthy migrated from the Indian Youths’ Eldorado, U.S.A. to Chennai for pursuing his goal -- Carnatic music – and making it a full-time profession.Delhi Sunderrajan initially mentored me during his concert visits to U.S. Later, I learnt from Chengleput Ranganathan, Vairamangalam Lakshminarayanan and Vaikom Jayachandran, to name a few.

Ramakrishnan Murthy, who moved to India in 2011 from Los Angeles after a college education there, is a young talent well on his way to mature musicianship with strong classical values. He is one of the few who land both the purist and the popular vote!

And when he sings, he evokes the music of past masters without mimicking them which, in a traditional music like Carnatic music, is a priceless quality
