Event overview
Musician, Performing Artist, Historian, Teacher, Author, gives a workshop on Hindustani Classical Vocal Singing.
India is known for its rich culture & heritage and of the several cultural streams of Indian traditional art forms, Hindustani Classical Music is one that has touched the souls of many, within as well as beyond borders. A connoisseur while listening to a maestro may enjoy the recital, but finds it difficult to understand the basic aspects of the presentation and only a handful are able to actually enjoy & appreciate the nuances. Even general terms like Raag, Alaap, Khayaal etc are unknown and misinterpreted.
Shruti-Samvaad ™ is a unique interactive way of combining both, Music as well as its understanding. The broad overview and details of the system are discussed during the session along with Vocal recitals / demonstrations, so that the audience acquires sufficient knowledge of Hindustani Classical Music.
Born to a music loving family, Dr. Shruti Jauhari was introduced to music with lessons from Pt. G R Kulkarni at the age of nine, simultaneously being guided by her father Dr. R M Verma, her first Guru from early childhood.

After relocating to Chennai in 1994, she further took detailed Voice Culture lessons from the Legendary singer Dr. K. J Yesudas, for about five years. She has also been under the guidance of Pt. Ajoy Chakraborty Ji.
