dedicated "Sadhana" and training under the guidance
and direction of great Masters like Shri.T.SANJEEVI, Shri.SANGEETHAM
MEERA SAHIB, Shri.C.G.VENKATESH and Dr.PRAPANCHAM SEETHARAM,

creations on the woodwind. In his dexterous hands the flute
emerges from its pastoral background to express music of unsurpassed
elegance.

of Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam, the prestigious Bharat

composer he has composed music for Dance ballets and Devotional
albums and has also done music assistance to many reputed
music directors.
Balasai is not only classical by temperament and training,
but is also remarkably modem in his outlook, and susceptible
to new ideas. Recently he has been performing a "Unique
Combination" of Flute & Gottuvadyam duet, without
the usual accompaniment Violin, a novel approach inspired
by the Mridangam Maestro Shri.Karaikudi R.MANI. He plays the
western classical key flute also, and has been associated
