IN THIS EXCLUSIVE AND CANDID CONVERSATION, KRISHNA'S ARTISTRY KNOWS NO BOUNDS; HE SEAMLESSLY BLENDS CLASSICAL AUTHENTICITY WITH AVANT-GARDE CREATIVITY, RESHAPING THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE GENRE, BRIDGING CULTURAL DIVIDES
TM Krishna is not merely a musician; but also a thought-provoking author and activist. Recognized with prestigious awards, including the Ramon Magsaysay Award, Isai Perarignar Award from Tamil Isai Sangam, the Indira Gandhi Award for National Integration, and the Swathi Sangeetha Puraskaram Award, the highest honour for musicians instituted by the Kerala State Government, his commitment as an artist advocates the power of art to heal India’s deep social divisions.
Krishna shares how music is connected with politics and offers profound insights into initiatives like the Chennai Poromboke Paadal and the Chennai Kalai Theru Vizha. These artistic endeavours, once confined to the stage, have now become dynamic catalysts for social change. With unwavering focus, Krishna addresses the glaring disparities among performers, audiences, and instrument-makers from diverse communities, passionately advocating for inclusivity on the grand stage of life.
But our conversation doesn’t stop there. He discusses his provocative book, “Sebastian & Sons,” a literary work that not only stirred controversy but also ignited vital discussions. Discover the motives that fueled the creation of this eye-opening narrative as he peels back the layers of classical music, revealing hidden stories and challenging age-old norms. Together, we journey through the impact of technology and urbanization on traditional arts, delving into the intricate balance between heritage preservation and the embrace of progress.
Here’s T M Krishna with us for an insightful conversation
