Percussionist

Drummer

Representing the South Indian classical Carnatic music tradition, Aruna Sairam is one of the most prominent Indian vocalists of our generation. Sairam’s concert is a rare opportunity to experience a diverse array of raga (melodies), tala (rhythms), languages, and improvisational songs in the Carnatic repertoire. Sairam will be joined by Rohan Krishnamurthy on mridangam percussion and Kamalakiran Vinjamuri on violin, two leading artists in the South Asian diaspora.

The Barns At Wolf Trap

Prasant Radhakrishnan and Rohan Krishnamurthy have been making music together in the Carnatic tradition and beyond for 25 years. This collaboration extends back to their master teachers and embraces past concerts and tours, allowing them to effortlessly blend their sound while bringing traditional and original music to a new generation.

BRAVA Theater

This night brings the SFJAZZ debut of an Oakland-based band exploring the intersection of Carnatic Indian classical music with jazz and funk, and in the process are “forging a beautiful new sound” (Berkeleyside). They perform new music and material from their 2022 self-titled debut album.

Made up of percussionist Rohan Krishnamurthy, saxophonist Prasant Radhakrishnan, and keyboardist Colin Hogan, the trio was formed in 2017 to perform at an UnderCover Presents concert in Berkeley honoring the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles’ immortal Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and was the perfect outlet for longtime friends Krisnamurthy and Radhakrishnan to meld their love of jazz with their extensive South Indian classical training.
