The music of K. Sridhar is often described as an aspiration towards spiritual bliss.  He is a descendent of fourteen generations of temple musicians and was a student of the famous Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar from the devotional Dhrupad tradition of India.  He has performed in India and internationally for over 45 years.  The youngest member ever of Ravi Shankar's orchestral group, he currently is a recording artist for Peter Gabriel's RealWorld Records.  More information about this artist is available on his website at www.sridhar.org

The Sarod is an instrument of great complexity which allows for an extraordinary diversity of sound and mood.  It is known as the Indian lute with twenty-five strings and a fretless fingerboard.  His improvisations within the structure of each raga are noted for their intensity of emotion, whether gentle glissando or lightning-fast percussive resolution of the various themes built within the piece.
