MANODHARMA: A Carnatic Vocal Concert

Masterful vocalist T.M. Krishna occupies a markedly distinct place in the Carnatic universe, known for the stunning individuality of his renditions and an inner luminosity and passionate intensity that are wholly his own. Trained under the distinguished gurus B. Seetharama Sarma, Chengalpet Ranganathan, and Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, Krishna's music is grounded in rigorous classical learning while shaped by a singular aesthetic and expression that continues to engage rasikas, musicians, and listeners across generations. Manodharma, the art of creating music in the moment, offers us a glimpse into the inner world of the performer. Through this process, the artist creates an edifice that dies in that very instant, yet lives forever within it. In this concert, Krishna invites us into those moments of creation as he traverses the landscapes of rāgam and tālam alongside co-artists Rajna Swaminathan on mridangam and Sruthi Sarathy on violin.
