List of Indian violinists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are two styles of violin playing in India: the Carnatic and the Hindustani.[1] Carnatic violinists such as Malaikkottai Govindaswamy Pillai, Tirukkodikaval Krishna Iyer and Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu performed concerts as early as 1900. Indian violinists today such as Manoj George, L. Shankar, Fayiz Muhammed and Balabhaskar have successfully adapted the Western music style of playing the violin and have been performing concerts outside of India. Violinists such as N. Rajam and Sangeeta Shankar are highly accomplished international performers in the Hindustani style. Violinists such as T.N. Krishnan, A. Kanyakumari, H.K. Venkatram and Mysore brothers have remained Carnatic classical violinists and have yet been able to reach out to audiences outside of India. Also, artists such as Jyotsna Srikanth, L. Subramaniam, Ambi Subramaniam, Fayiz Muhammed, and Roopa Revathi have satisfactorily managed to perform both Carnatic and Western music on the violin.

The following is a list of famous Indian violinists.
