Srinivas Reddy is an Indian-American sitarist, guitarist and composer. In 1998 he came under the tutelage of Sri Partha Chatterjee, a direct disciple of the late sitar maestro Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. Since then Srinivas has rigorously trained with his teacher in the traditional guru-shishya style. Both here and abroad he continues to imbibe and practice the subtleties of the Hindustani musical tradition.

Srinivas is a professional concert sitarist and has given numerous recitals in the US and India. He is also an experienced teacher and educator. Srinivas holds a BA from Brown University and an MA from UC Berkeley, both in South Asian Studies. He has taught several college level courses on both South Asian literature and music.

I love this raga. My teacher performed this when I was a tabla student at Brown. Reminds me of walking around the east side of Providence when the leaves change. Coincidence? Echoes through time and place?

Encore!

This is so charming. It's my favourite raga, it traverses me to some unknown destiny since then when I first heard it from a live album of Ali Akbar Khan.
