Info for Carnatic Nomad - South Indian Carnatic Music on violin

Jyotsna Srikanth hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, das Bewusstsein für karnatische (südindische klassische) Musik im Westen zu verbreiten. Sie interpretiert Kompositionen verehrter karnatischer Komponisten aus dem 15. und 18. Jahrhunderts. Sie präsentiert eine Reihe wunderschöner Ragas, die aus dem traditionellen Melakarta-System abgeleitet sind, und alle Stücke zeichnen sich durch ihre außergewöhnliche Grifftechnik und die reizvolle Verschmelzung von musikalischem Ausdruck und Gefühl aus.

Jyotsna Srikanth, Violine

Jyotsna Srikanth
Srikanth’s sliding violin is a mainstay of Europe’s global music circuit. Aged five she heard Carnatic violin for the first time, and tried to imitate the instrument’s action by scraping together two brooms from the kitchen cupboard (“my mother thought I’d gone mad, but I was desperate to hear that sound again...”).

She studied under her mother, Rathna Srikanth, and then took advanced instruction from RR Keshavamurthy, the legendary seven string violinist of Karnataka. She also trained in Western classical music at the Bangalore School of Music. Alongside her demanding musical schedule she also trained as a medical doctor, eventually receiving a postgraduate degree in Pathology.

But music’s allure proved too much, and she chose to pursue it full-time after moving to London with her husband in 2004. She went on to accompany a wide range of top Carnatic musicians as well as teaching and writing for ballet. Aside from this she has recorded for over 200 films and worked in a vast array of fusion settings, including with the Bollywood Brass Band, flamenco-jazz guitarist Eduardo Niebla, and her Indo-Swedish Nordic Raga group.

Today Jyotsna is in demand as a leader and accompanist in traditional Carnatic music, having played at Darbar Festival more times than virtually anyone else.
