Bombay Jayshri in the US
When music seeps into the hearts of rasikas without themselves perceiving it, then it can be said to have served its ethereal purpose. For sangita’s tranquil delights lie hidden in the depths of the heart, waiting to be activated by a sensitive artiste like Bombay Jayashri Ramnath. Her sensitivity is rooted in tenderness, stimulating music and music, in turn, lending itself to contemplation – The Hindu.
Jayashri was born to N N Subramaniam and Seetha, who groomed her in Carnatic music in her initial years. Her initiation into music was under her father’s guidance at the age of four. Later Jayashri learned under the tutelage of T R Balamani Ammal of Bombay. She was into concert performances in her teens. She learnt Hindustani music from Mahavir Jaipurwale and Ajay Pohankar.
In 1989, she enrolled herself as a disciple of Lalgudi G Jayaraman. Since 1989, she has been under the guidance and tutelage of the renowned violin maestro. Jayashri has performed in all the major institutions, festivals and sabhas in India and abroad and has won acclaim from critics and rasikas.
Jayashri’s repertoire of meditative music and rare poetry are best experienced through her compositions in her albums. She has also composed music for dance ballets and documentaries. In this manner, Jayashri has deployed the essence of the classical idiom most effectively in her search for avenues beyond the concert format. More recently she has harnessed her skills towards composing music as a powerful catalyst in promoting our rich legacy in literature and other art forms which opens up new vistas for exploring her creative instincts.
Jayashri represents the model emerging new generation musician India is proud of. A skillful blend of uncompromising adherence to the core tradition of classical carnatic music as well as a ceaseless quest for quality music in any form would best personify Jayashri.
