Shashank
Subramnyam
He’s a Grammy Nominee and one of
the finest flautists of Indian Classical
Music. Shashank Subramanyam has over
thirty years of experience on the stage
since his first performance at age six.
By age twelve he was performing
in the top music circuits in India
as well as worldwide. A
year after that, he was
awarded ‘A’ Grade for
All India Radio at the
tender age of thirteen. Over the years,
the maestro has not only captured the
hearts of many with his soulful playing, but
has in turn developed a unique style of playing that has
been an inspiration to flautists across the world. As the
December Music Season approaches in Chennai, Score had
the opportunity to sit down with the maestro to talk about
his life, music, and the music scenario today.
