Melting away the Autumn chill, a highlight of Milap’s Autumn programme includes a Carnatic Weekend, when the Music for the Mind & Soul series returns to The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall for the first time since 2007 for two captivating back-to-back concerts in the Music Room.
On Friday 14th October, Ramana Balachandhran will take the stage in Liverpool for the very first time. A child prodigy Veena artist from Bengaluru, Balachandhran performs an Indian classical set, interpreting Carnatic ragas with refreshing perspective and unique virtuosity.
Balachandhran is known to make courageous choices as a musician, often selecting the most challenging compositions to perform, whilst blending his talents as a vocalist with his experience of the Veena.
On Saturday 15th October, one of the most sought-after Carnatic flautists of his generation, Flute J.A. Jayanth – affectionately known as Flute Jayanth by thousands – will take the stage.
His expressive, emotion-filled rendering brings out the depth and soul of the lyrical aspects of the compositions he presents, all while maintaining shruthi suddham (perfect pitching) and excellent tonal quality.
Flute Jayanth’s 1600+ solo concerts have won him lasting appreciation across the board, including praise from senior musicians, co-artists, connoisseurs and of course, rasikas (or, music lovers).
Jayanth will be joined by world-renowned mridangist Sai Giridhar and the extremely talented Sumanth Manjunath. The Carnatic trio will perform a selection of much-loved compositions from Southern India.
