Aruna Sairam
Her training went on after Brinda. S. Ramachandran taught her neraval, the improvising inside a line of text; A. S. Mani the swara singing; T. R. Subramanyam the ragam-tanam-pallavi. She also worked on the voice itself with the German teacher Eugene Rabine, which is not the usual road in this tradition.
In 2011 she was the first Carnatic musician to sing at the BBC Proms in London, and the first at the Oud Festival in Jerusalem. She was vice-chair of the Sangeet Natak Akademi until 2022, and holds the French Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Her Nadayogam Trust works to keep the wider world around the Indian arts going, and not only the performances.
