British Carnatic Choir

[4][5] According to its website, the ensemble includes children, young adults, music enthusiasts, professionals of both asian and non-asian origin from across the UK.

The choir is the brainchild of UK-based Chithra Ramakrishnan, herself a Carnatic vocalist and the artistic director of ShruthiUK, a Solihull-based non-profit South Asian arts and culture organisation.

[5][7][8] Its website lists notable British names like Paul Sabapathy (CVO CBE), Carl Rice (Councillor and ex-Mayor of Birmingham) and Indian ones like Neyveli Santhanagopalan and G. J. R. Krishnan (both Sangeet Natak Akademi Award winning Carnatic vocalists), etc.

[3] In November 2015 the youth ensemble of this choir performed its inaugural concert with around 120 students from the Sparkhill's Greet Primary School at South & City College Birmingham auditorium by presenting a series of Sanskrit songs.

This is an event aimed at bringing together artistes, academics, music educators spanning diverse cultures from across the world to promote a sense of peace and harmony.
