He has started and is involved in many organizations whose work is spread across the spectrum of music and culture. He has co-authored Voices Within: Carnatic Music – Passing on an Inheritance, a book dedicated to the past masters of Karnatik music. His book A Southern Music – The Karnatik Story, published by Harper Collins in 2013, was said to be a first-of-its-kind philosophical, aesthetic, and socio-political exploration of Karnatik Music, and for this, he was awarded the 2014 Tata Literature Award for Best First Book in the non-fiction category. His long-form essay MS understood, for The Caravan was featured in The Caravan Book of Profiles as one of their “twelve definitive profiles” and has been translated into Tamil and published as a book ‘Katrinile Karainda Tuyar’ by Kalachuvadu Publications.<br /><br />He is part of the team of activists that started the Urur-Olcott Kuppam Festival and the Svanubhava initiative and has been part of inspiring collaborations, such as the Chennai Poromboke Paadal with environmentalist Nityanand Jayaraman, performances with the Jogappas (transgender musicians) and bringing on to the concert stage the poetry of Perumal Murugan. He also speaks at various conferences and academic institutions, including Harvard University, Chennai Mathematical Institute, the Indian Institutes of Technology, and the Indian Institutes of Management.<br /><br />Among his awards are the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award (2016) in recognition of ‘his forceful commitment as an artist and advocate of art’s power to heal India’s deep social divisions, the Indira Gandhi Award for National Integration (2017) for his services in promoting and preserving national integration in the country, and the Professor V. Aravindakshan Memorial Award (2017) for connecting Carnatic music with the common man.<br /><br /><br /><b><u>When:</u></b><br />Friday, October 14th, 2022, Time 6:30 PM<div><br /><b><u>Where:</u></b><br /><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">J Sargeant Reynolds CC Auditorium</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">1651 E Parham Rd, Richmond, VA 23228</div></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><fieldset><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">FREE Admission for Members</span></b><br /> <span style="font-size: small;">Click </span><a href="http://www.richmondrasikas.org/p/members.html" target="new"><span style="font-size: small;">here</span></a></span><span style="font-size: small;"> to become a member</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>(Member benefits: free 4 concerts per year, free Admission for live-in/out-of-town parents, concessional rates at TU and GCD <a href="http://www.richmondrasikas.org/p/members.html" target="new">read more..</a>)</div></fieldset><br /><br />

As a prominent vocalist in the Carnatic musical tradition, Sudha Ragunathan’s voice enthralls listeners from around the world. Among the first in her generation to receive many prestigious awards including the Padmabhushan and the Sangita Kalanidhi, her mastery over vocal techniques and complicated styles makes her one of the most sought-after artists. Her authentic renditions of ‘krithis’ and refined elaborations of ‘ragas, the élan with which she breezes through the ‘Kalpana swaras’, her command over the octaves, and her supremely confident stage presence combined with unstated humility has given her an enviable pre-eminence in the world of Carnatic music. Sudha has performed a range of concerts and festivals worldwide and has released over 200 albums with leading recording companies like AVM, INRECO, Vani, and Amutham. She is a top-ranking artist for Prasar Bharati, All India Radio, and the Doordarshan, and was the auspicious voice at the first live broadcast at the National Program Series of concerts hosted in Chennai. Sudha also has the unique honor of rendering ‘Vande Mataram’ at the Central Hall of Parliament, New Delhi on 27th January 2000 to mark the completion of 50 years of the free Indian Republic.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><u>When</u>: </b> 6 PM Friday, June 11th, 2021<br /><b><u>Where</u>: </b>Online</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <fieldset>

Sangeetha Kalanidhi Aruna Sairam (also spelled Sayeeram) is an Indian classical vocalist.
She is a recipient of the Padma Shri award from the Government of India and has been elected as Vice Chairman of the Sangeet Natak Akademi (India's premier national institution for music and dance) by the Government of India.
In 2011, Aruna was the first Carnatic musician to perform at the The BBC Proms (more formally known as The Henry Wood Promenade Concerts) in London. Padma Shri Aruna Sairam has been selected for the Sangita Kalanidhi award, the highest recognition in Carnatic music, this year. This year’s award is a thumping validation of Sairam’s prodigious musical spectrum. Apart from her classical Carnatic core, she has managed to embrace various other genres of music, including the Marathi abhang and the bhajan.
She has brought in many innovations in the repertoire of concerts and is known to be a bold experimenter in pushing the borders of performance strategies. She was the first to introduce the Abhang, a distinctive folk music form from Western India, into a traditional southern Indian Carnatic concert. Apart from her core Music, Aruna sings in 14 different Indian languages as well as in French, German, Latin and Italian.
Her style is rooted in tradition, yet continues to evolve.
