Varijashree Venugopal – Vari - Live

A showcase of Carnatic musician Varijashree Venugopal's work as vocalist, flautist and composer.

Varijashree Venugopal’s full-length original work, Vari, brings together the many musical inspirations that have shaped her 30-year journey as a student, singer, performer, composer, songwriter and flautist. Rooted in the South Indian Carnatic tradition, Varijashree carries her heritage across the world through the language of music, using the voice as her primary instrument.

A collection of original music and songwriting, Vari draws from the rich melodic and rhythmic concepts of Carnatic music, including raaga and taala, while reaching toward new sonic worlds in contemporary music. Traditional South Indian sounds of Indian rhythm and melody blend with synth soundscapes and bass lines, creating a meaningful confluence of tradition and experimentation.

Varijashree Venugopal will also present a free matinee performance for public school groups through Design for Sharing, our K-12 Arts Education Program.  

Support provided by the Ginny Mancini Endowment for Vocal Performance.
