Come Shravana, the festive season is on and the festivities aren’t complete without the music programmes. Raaga Music Academy is celebrating Sri Krishna Jayanti on Saturday the 8th, with Vid. Krishna Pawan Kumar giving a flute recital from 6pm to 8pm at Prajna Kuteera, Vishwamanava Double Road, Kuvempunagar.
Pawan Kumar is a rare artiste who is a practitioner/performer of three streams of music — vocal and two instruments, flute and the mridanga. He has managed all these along with his academics with great distinction. He took his initial lessons from his grandmother Vidu. U. Sathyavathi, Vid. K.H. Ravikumar (mridanga) and Vid. Gopalakrishna Iyer (flute). A prodigy, he learnt the intricacies of music with much ease from a very tender age. The Government of Karnataka gave him scholarships for both flute and mridanga in recognition of his talent.
