In kaleidoscopic colour is how Jyotsna Srikanth’s music is described as illuminating the South Indian Carnatic tradition. Hers is scintillating violin, accompanied by Ghatam Prakash on mrindangam. Her elastic expressivity revels in raga rotations as much as jamming in jazz, often marrying the two. Her album “Call of Bangalore” anchored her position as a ‘major instrumentalist of vision and imagination’ (fRoots) and ‘an extraordinary and versatile violinist’ (The Guardian).

Hailing from Bangalore, Jyotsna is Europe’s foremost Indian violinist. Approaching every musical interaction with an insatiable desire to collaborate and create new sounds and pathways, Jyotsna enjoys a demanding international career as an eminent solo musician. She has lent her talent to the film industry, playing on over two hundred South Indian cinematic soundtracks. Jyotsna is also the founder and curator of the London International Arts Festival (LIAF) and leads Dhruv Arts, a UK-based organisation promoting South Indian Carnatic music. In her career spanning 25 years Jyotsna has performed in all the major world music festivals across Europe.
