Padma Sugavanam - Indian Classical Carnatic Vocal Concert
Sruti is pleased to present a Carnatic Vocal concert by Dr Padma Sugavanam, accompanied by Kamalakiran Vinjamuri on Violin and Vinod Seetharaman on Mridangam.
The short bios of the artists follow:
A Carnatic vocalist and gold-medalist PhD in Sanskrit and musicology, Padmas accomplishments include a rare double-promotion A-grade (AIR), and Outstanding Vocalist award at the Music Academy.
Trained under Sangita Kala Acharya Vidushi Seetha Rajan, Padma performed in several of the most prestigious platforms of Carnatic music, and has taken her music to the USA, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia and Bali (Indonesia) through seven international tours.
Padma is also a faculty member with a California-based University set up by the Indian community of the Bay Area. She has also given guest lectures at the University of Pennsylvania.
When music is offered with strict practice, in measured levels and coupled with a sweet voice, it naturally impresses. Padma Sugavanam, a disciple of vidushi Seetha Rajan, showcased her commitment to the schools style. While Padmas raga essays of Varali and Kharaharapriya were testimony of her musical comprehension of the strength of these ragas, her swara streams were in absolute order. She led the swaras in an orderly manner and rounded off with a perfect korvai. Padmas articulation displayed care and clarity. The niraval on Kamalaja Manohara in the latter showed her ability to employ the ragas aesthetic nuances. The Hindu - Dec 29, 2014
