The court said the Bengaluru …

T M Krishna returns to Music Academy stage, capping a year of upheaval for Carnatic landscape | Chennai News

Published by Parlour News

On Christmas morning in Chennai, T M Krishna, one of Carnatic music’s most celebrated vocalists, returned to the Music Academy after nearly a decade. Opening and closing his performance to a standing ovation, Krishna reclaimed the stage, which he once left in protest, with a concert to mark his acceptance of the Sangita Kalanidhi award, the highest honour in the Carnatic music world. The concert caps a year of controversy that has rocked the Academy and the Carnatic music landscape. Earlier this month, the Madras High Court cleared the way for Krishna to receive the Sangita Kalanidhi M S Subbulakshmi Award after a legal battle that gripped Chennai’s cultural and legal circles. The lawsuit, filed by Subbulakshmi’s grandson, V Shrinivasan, argued that the award violated her will, which purportedly prohibited memorials in her name. The court dismissed this claim, ruling that the award did not constitute a memorial as defined by the will. Shrinivasan’s objections, however, went beyond legalities. He accused Krishna, an outspoken critic of caste in Carnatic music, of making disparaging remarks about …
