Mysore/Mysuru: The cultural calendar of Mysuru will strike a melodious note on Sunday, Aug. 3, as Raaga Music Academy celebrates its 11th Anniversary with a grand violin duet by the illustrious Akkarai Sisters — Vidu. Akkarai S. Subhalakshmi and Vidu. Akkarai S. Sornalatha. The concert begins at 5.30 pm at the Padmaja Srinivas Auditorium, BSS Vidyodaya, Krishnamurthypuram.
Hailing from a distinguished lineage of musicians, the Akkarai Sisters are known for their violin and vocal performances. Their grandfather, Suchindram S.P. Sivasubramaniam, was a multi-talented musician, while their grandmother R. Sornambal was a revered music teacher. Groomed in this musically charged environment, both sisters were trained by their father and guru, Akkarai S. Swamynathan, himself a violinist, and later from other legendary stalwarts.
