Kumbhakonam Sri M. Rajappa Iyer, the legendary Mridanga vidwan, has
been serving the percussion art for more than sixty years. This is a rare
and unique achievement, in the contemporary music field.
The doyen, who
is turning ninety during the end of 2005, has been a great accompanist to
famous vidwans of yesteryears and has been teaching the art to hundreds of
disciples, several of whom have made a mark as performing vidwans in the field
of percussion art.
The disciples of
Rajappa Iyer, have planned to felicitate their guru and offer
pranams to his invaluable service in a manner most appropriate and befitting
his greatness. It is proposed to release a CD and a book comprising the
mridangam lessons, unique to his style of teaching.
Disciples and
well-wishers of Sri. Rajappa Iyer are requested to come forward and
join the function to honour the veteran guru.
