Bios

Sri Nitya Pariti is an 8th grade student in Naperville. She learns Carnatic Veena from her grand mother, Smt. Rajeswari Pariti. Nitya started learning Veena when she was 5 years old. She gave several performances in Chicago area and won prizes in competitions organized by Chicago Tyagaraja Utsavam and Cleveland Tyagaraja Utsavam.

Arthi Nadhan, 12 years old, has been learning the Veena for four years now initially from Chicago based teachers and then from senior professionals based in India. She has fun playing this instrument with her brother, Athrey on the Mridangam and has performed in multiple concerts in India, Cleveland and Chicago.

Prasod Ramachandran was trained under renowned violinists VV Subramanyam and Mrs Ganesh Prasad - leading violinists of India. By profession, he is an Optometrist.

Athrey Nadhan, 15 years old, started learning the art of playing the Mridangam at the age of five in Naperville, IL. He is undergoing advanced training from one of the leading professionals in this field today - Srimushnam V Raja Rao. Athrey has accompanied several leading artists at multiple venues across the United States and India.

E.G.Nadhan, Athrey's father, will be accompanying Athrey today on a fragile instrument which is an earthenware pot called the Ghatam (literally pot in Sanskrit). Nadhan, a passionate amateur at rhythm, has not undergone formal training on this instrument and just has fun playing what he has heard in professional concerts. By profession he is a Software Engineer.
