Ganesh Kumaresh
Virtuosity, perfect layam and novel innovations soaked in the grammar of Carnatic music on the violin bring to mind the duo Ganesh and Kumaresh, who have been riding high on the concert podium from a very early age. They spend much of their time in musical activities performing, teaching, and collaborating with artistes on new productions.
 
Joseph Thattarassery
When Fr Joseph Thattarassery was appointed as the parish priest of St Joseph’s Church in Tripunithura eight years ago, it changed his life. A mild interest in Carnatic music became a passion. He started a 12-person choir for bhajan singing, which included three Hindus: Unnikrishnan on the mridangam, Lalu on the tabla, and Devadas on the flute.
 
Nadaka
A refined music performance that draws inspiration from various Indian styles, Nadaka and his group offer us Vedic Chants, Hindustani and Carnatic music with occasional jazzy modes that blend seamlessly. Performed in a contemporary setting with a neat sound and subtle lighting, the show not only features individual virtuosity but above all, depth and emotion, as the audience gets immersed in the inner soul of music or lifted through moments of percussive fusion.
 
Yodhakaa
Yodhakaa is a 5 member experimental music setup that evolved around the idea of finding a bridge between the tradition and contemporary through its Sanskrit-based melodies.
 
Madras String Quartet
The Madras String Quartet's music is unique. The foursome are, four voices' and the audience is enchanted to soak in the totality of the music that is created - a blend of the two classical styles – western and carnatic.
 
T.M. Krishna
T.M Krishna is one of the leading vocalists in the field of carnatic music and has been performing for almost 20 years. Krishna's resonant and mellifluous voice and strict adherence to classicism have enriched his art. His music is marked with a high level of aesthetics in conception and forceful execution. He is also known for his manodharma (imagination) and sampradaya sangeeta or (traditional purity of music).
