Raghavendra Rao hails from a distinguished
family of musicians. He was initiated into the niceties of
music at an early age of five by his father B.Sudarsana Rao.
Attracted by the lure of classical music from his childhood,
he trained rigorously on the violin for several years under
Guru Shri Balan, Shri Sangeetham Meerasahib and became the
disciple of the violin maestro Sangeetha Kalanidhi Shri T.N.Krishnan.
Later he received invaluable guidance and concert experience
from Dr.M.Balamuralikrishna, the greatest musician India has
produced in this century.
As a young artiste he received the appreciation of the President
of India for accompanying the celebrated musical genius.
These are only just a few accolades in the career of Raghavendra
Rao, an expert violinist in his own right. The melodious and
mellifluous music that he brings out through the violin illustrates
his strong creative imagination that scales great heights.
He has won several prizes and awards from various sabhas
in Madras. He has participated in the prestigious Bharat Cultural
Integration Committee's (BCIC) music festivals organised all
over India.
Raghavendra Rao has performed internationally and has participated
in numerous music festivals of I.C.C.R., and the prestigious
"Festival of India" programmes. He has widely traveled
all over the world, including, the U.S.A., Canada, France,
Germany, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius and the Middle Eastern
countries.
Raghavendra's devotion and his quest for perfection find
its expression in his instrument.
