Carnatic Music Season

Every year thousands of classically trained musicians descend on Chennai in hopes of making a name for themselves. There aren't a lot of venues for south Indian music and dance, but if you want to make a living through music then the first pre-requisite is to be a smashing success during the local concert season.

In December I traversed music halls across the city and met legendary musicians and up and coming artists for NPR. Listen to the radio story here.

Your blog is captivating. I once ended up stranded in Chennai through a Paris airport worker's mistake. I've always wanted to return, even more so since reading your blog. Thanks for taking time to post.
