Chinmaya Mission - Triple Carnatic Concerts
May 14, 2011 at 3:00 PM – Rajhesh Vaidhya
Rajhesh Vaidhya was brought up in a rich musical environment. His father Sri K.M. Vaidyanathan was a stalwart both in Mridangam and Ghatam. His tutelage under Smt. Jeyalakshmi started at the age of six and he continued learning the finer nuances of music from world-renowned carnatic veena maestro, Shri Chitti Babu. Within the Veena and south Indian music tradition, he is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing and technically beguiling artists. Apart from his blistering speed, Rajhesh's performance is distinguished by his use of electric and amplified strings. His Veena playing is remarkable and not only an audible explosion, but also a visual delight. Rajhesh Vaidhya is not only a renowned musician in India, his fame and popularity spreads in all the musical stages around the world.

May 15, 2011 at 4:00 PM – Sudha Raghunathan
Sudha Raghunathan has a golden touch in her voice that enthralls her listeners from all over the globe. There is tantalizing mystery behind that cherubic smile. Her deep relish for tradition and mystical old-world charm is supremely addictive. Her foundation in the world of music was laid at a very young age by her mother Smt. Choodamani . In 1977, Dr. M.L. Vasanthakumari, hailed by many as a musical genius, encouraged Sudha to pursue music as a career. Sudha is a top ranking artiste of the All India Radio and the Doordharshan, besides being the artiste in demand by leading recording companies. Her creative expression in Carnatic music has no par. And, her music is known to flow straight from the heart, dripping with classical divinity. With her divine voice, she has mesmerized 'rasikas' across the country and beyond the Indian shores.
