14 Jan
Summary
- Sanjay Subrahmanyan marks 40 years of a career defined by change.
- He performs about 10 concerts in Chennai during December.
- Rigorous preparation is key to his consistent musical performance.
Sanjay Subrahmanyan, a celebrated Carnatic vocalist, reflects on his forty-year career distinguished by continuous evolution and dedication to his craft. He emphasizes the importance of meticulous preparation and consistent daily practice, stating that a significant portion of his concert repertoire is already mastered before taking the stage. Subrahmanyan's performance at The Times Thyagaraja Awards marks a significant event.
The Margazhi season in Chennai holds particular significance for Subrahmanyan, offering him a concentrated period to perform in his birthplace. While earlier seasons were more demanding, with up to 25 concerts in 40 days, he now focuses on approximately ten performances in Chennai during December. This shift allows him to connect with the city's rich musical heritage.
The grand finale of The Times Thyagaraja Awards, an initiative by The Times of India, is scheduled for January 17, 2026, at The Music Academy. This event will feature five finalists competing for the title, followed by a special concert by Sangita Kalanidhi Sanjay Subrahmanyan, celebrating young Carnatic musicians and Chennai's cultural landscape.
