Sruti Sarathy is a leading Carnatic violinist, singer, and composer. A rare artist who possesses both mastery in the rigorous classical form as well as a boundary-pushing musical vision, she animates the stage in diverse contexts across the globe, from the sabhas of Chennai to music festivals in San Francisco.
Sruti began her training as a prodigious three-year old. She is a student of Anuradha Sridhar of the Lalgudi family of musicians. Sruti regularly performs with top Carnatic musicians, and has received awards three years in a row for her performances at the prestigious Madras Music Academy.
A Bay Area native, Sruti composes original Carnatic songs that tell stories of the South Asian immigrant experience. The live show "Songs for Many Lives" will premiere in the Bay Area this fall.
