MUSIC APPRECIATION PROMOTION

The Evolving Aesthetics of Indian Classical Music: From History to Future
Presentation by Prof  N.M. Anoop Krishnan
 
Indian classical music has a documented history of more than 2000 years. However, the music itself has evolved so much over these years that it is impossible to comment whether the present holds any similarity to its previous forms. The talk will focus on some of the underlying aesthetic ideas that connect the music over these years, the historical evolution of Indian classical music, the various forms it gave birth to in the process, and the branching thereof will also be addressed. 
 
Prof. N. M. Anoop Krishnan, classical vocalist has trained in Carnatic music with Dr. Shreekantham Nagendra Sastry of the Chintalappali parampara and in Hindustani music with Vid. Aditi Upadhya of Agra gharana
