Music For The Mind And Soul v The Bridgewater Hall
J A Jayanth (flute), Ashwani Skankar (shehnai), Neyveli Venkatesh (mridangam), Kousic Sen (tabla)
In this special concert, two of the most remarkable woodwind instruments, the Bansuri Flute and Shenai, combine to take the audience on a melodic journey through both the Hindustani and Carnatic genres of music.
Flute Jayanth is one of the rising stars on the Carnatic music scene. A prodigy, Jayanth was driven from a young age by in-born talent and enthusiasm for the bamboo flute. As one of the most sought after flautists in Carnatic music, he was, from the age of 5, naturally drawn into the tutelage of his grandfather, noted flautist, the late T. S. Sankaran (prime disciple of Flute Mali) in a traditional guru-sishya parampara.
Jayanth has a refined fingering and blowing technique which enables him to switch over to the bass and double bass flutes with ease to cover lower octaves, which is acclaimed as a hallmark in his recitals. His spontaneity and perfect pitching coupled with expressive and bhava laden rendering has won him appreciation from his co-artists and music connoisseurs. Jayanth has toured extensively all over the world and has accompanied some of the biggest names in music, such as Padma Vibhushan Umayalpuram K.Sivaraman, the late Sri Vellore Ramabhadran and Padma Bhushan Sri T.V.Gopalakrishnan.
Jayanth is joined in this special Jugalbandhi concert by Ashwani Shankar, a Shehnai master. The shehnai is a beautiful and rare woodwind instrument, similar to an oboe, making it a perfect accompaniment to Jayanth’s Bansuri flute. Ashwani comes from a musicially prestigious family and has been learning the shehnai from his father, Pandit Daya Shankar, since a young age. Ashwani has performed across the globe, usually with his brother, Sanjeev, who is also a shehnai player. In all his performances, Ashwani touches the hearts of the listeners worldwide and is critically acclaimed and praised by both the exponents and the critics of the music world.
Providing the rhythmic heartbeat to this melodic masterpiece are celebrated Mridangam exponent Neyveli Venkatesh and world-renowned Tabla artiste Kousic Sen. Both accompanist are known on the international stage as masters of rhythm and their skill gives new depth and excitement to the traditional concert experience.
