Raaga’s first event of the decade, the annual “Lalitha V. Murthy Memorial Concert” features the Malladi Brothers for a scintillating Karnatak vocal duet on Saturday, the 18th at Nadabrahma Sangeetha Sabha, JLB Road at 6 pm. This is a tribute to the memory of the late wife of Kalaseva Rathna K.V. Murthy, who, along with her husband, had been benevolent hosts to many artistes of repute.
Vid. Malladi Sreeramprasad and Vid. Malladi Ravikumar, popularly known as the “Malladi Brothers” hail from a family of musicians. They were initiated into music by their grandfather, a great harikatha exponent, late Malladi Ramamurthy and their father Malladi Suri Babu, a senior Vidwan himself. They were later under the tutelage of “Sangeetha Kalanidhi” Nedunuri Krishna Murthy and Padma Bhushan Dr. Sripada Pinakapani.
