Catching up with Anoor

The music fest allows us to catch up with musicians.
Last night, we met percussionist Anoor Ananthakrishna Sharma at Vyalikaval.
He was performing for Gayatri Venkatraghavan here and it was 9.30 p.m. when the concert ended.


Anoor is well known as a lead percussionist and in recent times, taken his large ensemble band to many places, with loads of percussionists in tow.

Just now Anoor's thoughts are with his Jayanagar neighborhood where he has lived for over four decades. For, he may have to move on in life soon.

Anoor tells us that he prefers to focus on teaching and promoting his ensemble group. "We get paid far better as an ensemble, " he tells us, before dashing off home.

This is a busy season fro Anoor. He has 15 concerts on his list.
