===========================  About the Artistes  =====================

Dr. N. RAMANI, the most renowned flutist in Karnatic music today, was 
born in Tiruvarur, the birthplace of the Great Musical Trinity of St.
Thyagaraja, Sri Muthuswamy Dikshitar and Sri Shyama Shastry.  Dr. Ramani
had his initial tutelage from his grandfather Flute Narayanaswami Iyer,
and then studied his art under Sri. T. R. Mahalingam.  He had started 
giving public recitals by the time he was 8 years old.  By the age of 
11, he was already giving solo concerts on All India Radio.

Dr. Ramani has performed in the USA six times and in many other 
countries throughout the world.  He has participated in many international
music festivals.  He has participated with Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman in
violin, veena and venu recitals.  He has performed in jugalbandhi with
eminent Hindustani artistes like Chaurasia and Jog.  Dr. Ramani has
received the Kalaimamani award from the Tamil Nadu Government, a cultural
doctorate from the world University in Arizona, the coveted Sangeeth Natak
Akademi award (1984-85) and the Padmashri from the Government of India(1987).

A. KANYAKUMARI studied violin under I. Vijayeswararao and under violin
maestro M. Chandrasekharan.  She became an ardent disciple of Padmabhushan
Sangeeta Kalanidhi M. L. Vasantakumari and became a leading violinist under
her guidance.  She has accompanied many great Karnatic musicians and has
been giving solo performances as well.  Her titles include the Kalaimamani
award from the Tamil Nadu Government.  In December 1988, she gave a 
non-stop recital of her violin solo for 29 hours on the auspicious day of
Sri Vaikunta Ekadasi in the temple of Sri Anantha Padhmanabhaswamy in Madras.

GURUVAYUR DORAI trained under Sri Palghat Subba Iyer and Sri Palani 
Subramania Pillai.  He made his debut at the age of 8 with Sri Chembai
Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar.  He has accompanied leading artistes, past
