Bombay Jayashri's Music Concert at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad

Born into a family of musicians with rich lineage and steeped in ancestry of music, Bombay Jayashri Ramnath represents the fourth generation of music practitioners in her family.

Jayashri has been groomed under the guidance of legend Shri Lalgudi G Jayaraman and Smt T R Balamani. She today not only bears the torch of the Lalgudi tradition, but has also evolved a distinct style of her own. In her voyage as a cultural ambassador of India's rich heritage, Jayashri has performed extensively in India and abroad in the most prestigious fora, drawing critical acclaim wherever she performed. Jayashri has the rare privilege of being the first Carnatic classical performer in the Opera House in Durban and the Russian Opera House in Helsinki, Finland. Drawing from this exposure Jayashri has been collaborating extensively with Western classical music groups in creating what could truly be described as world music which opens up new vistas of music appreciation. Another dimension to music which Jayashri is focused on is in exploring the therapeutic and healing value that music can generate. She has been working closely with institutions caring for autistic children to help open up their senses through the medium of music. She has several awards and accolades, the list of which is endless including an Oscar Nomination for "Life of Pi"
