Ramana Balachandhran
Ramana Balachandhran is a veena player in the Carnatic tradition. The son of Carnatic music practitioners Balachandhran and Sharanya, his talent for music was evident at an early age, when he could identify ragas and discern subtle nuances. Considered a prodigious talent, Ramana was directly awarded an A grade by All India Radio (AIR, the only grading authority in India) after auditioning at the age of 16—a rare honour in AI’s history of over 75 years. Madras Music Academy, the iconic and venerated music institution in Chennai, waived age requirements to invite him to be part of its annual concert series when he was 16.
