Kruthi Vittal (Bhat), born into a family of musicians, showed her interest towords music as a toddler and was initiated into Carnatic Music by her grandmother, Smt. Krishnaveni. She studied music with her mother Smt Rajarajeshwary Bhat and her uncle violinist, Vittal Ramamurthy. She had the privilege to learn from the legendary Padmabhushan Sri Lalgudi G. Jayaraman and Prof T. R. Subramanyan. She is also under the tutelage of Sri Neyveli Santhanagopalan and Smt. S. Sowmya. Kruthi is a recipient of numerous awards in India as well as the United States.

Vittal Rangan, an “A” Grade Artist of AIR and Doordarshan, was born into a family steeped in music and began his initial training in vocal music with his mother, Chitra Bilvam, an alumna of Tiruvaiyaru Raja’s Music College. He soon expanded his musical skills, teaching himself the harmonium to play in family bhajan sessions. Encouraged by his mother, he began studying the violin under the late R.R. Keshavamurthy. Vittal’s passion deepened after witnessing a mesmerising ensemble led by Sangeetha Kalanidhi A. Kanyakumari, which inspired him to become her disciple in 2003. Today, Vittal has become a favourite accompanist for senior musicians and a well-regarded solo violinist.

Sabesa Iyer, who developed the Thiruvarur Bani. Many of his students are becoming well known in the performance circuit.
