About the artist: Since his arrival into the Los Angeles, California metropolitan area in 2002, Mr. Jagannathan Ramamoorthy, MFA, has repeatedly demonstrated his mastery of the rare North Indian style of violin performance pioneered by his guru – violin legend Padmabhushan Dr. N. Rajam, former dean and Professor Emeritus of Indian Music, Benaras University, India – known as Gaayaki Ang, or the “singing style,” which emulates most closely the timbre, nuances and energetics of the human voice. After more than fifteen years of teaching this rare art form both within the United States and abroad, Mr. Ramamoorthy is the senior-most disciple of Dr. N. Rajam currently in practice.
