Ananthram and Anantharaman's - Profile

MANGALORE K. ANANTHRAM - SAXOPHONE ARTISTE...............(b. January 1, 1946) Ananthram was born in Kokada near Mangalore of Dharanappa. He had his initial training in music from his father.

He had his professional training under Kanchana Venkata Subramanya Ayyar, Nagaswaram Munivenkatappa and Nagaswaram Karkala Narayanaswami. His debut performance was at Malleswaram Sagita Sabha in 1993. He has been performing in Sri Venkataramana temple for two decades and giving concerts on All India Radio, sabhas, etc. in Karnataka, Mumbai and Chennai. Titles: Saxophone Samrat by H.H.Sri Keshavananda Swamiji of Ednir Mutt in 1994. Saxophone Sarvabhouma by Sri Lakshminarayana Asrama of Sri Durga Parameswari Temple in 1994.

PARUR S. ANANTARAMAN(Sr.) - VIOLINIST...............(b.26 August 1924) Son of Parur Sundaram Ayyar and brother of M.S.Gopalakrishnan, S.Anantharaman is a competent violinist - a chip of the family legacy. Naturally, he had his training under his father and at the early age of seven, made his debut at the Tyagaraja Vidwath Samajam. He is a graduate in Mathematics and diploma holder in music - both of the Madras University.

Anantharaman has been accompanying all leading vidwans and promising musicians with his skilled, adjusting and learned violin-play. Probably no Sabha worth the name is left out where he has not performed and his dignified, virtuous play is relished by all. He was lecturer and then Professor in the Central College of Carnatic Music, Madras from 1962 till he retired in 1983. All India Radio availed of his service for over forty years.
