An evening of melodious music by sisters Ranjani & Gayatri
Ranjani&Gayatri’s musical talents were discovered at a very early age, and their career was launched as they barely reached their teens. Child prodigies, Gayatri could identify over a hundred ragas when she was barely two and a half, and Ranjani could mimic complex melodies at age five. The sisters have achieved spectacular success as violin duet performers, and subsequently became widely popular vocalists. As past residents of Mumbai, they are equally at ease in Hindi Bhajans, Marathi Abhangs and Sanskrit, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada kritis besides Tamil songs. Their music, imbued with a deep and abiding classicism, has been described as an exhilarating blend of vitality, melody and emotion. They are gifted composers, having set to music many abhangs, bhajans and other compositions.
As recipients of the Government of India Talent Search Scholarship, and winners of the first prize in the All India Radio National Competition for Violin, Ranjani and Gayatri are one of the most sought after vocalists today and their concerts are instant sell-outs.
