Shashank Subramanyam

The pinnacle of his early career came in January 1991, when the Music Academy in Chennai invited the then 12-year-old Shashank to perform in their prestigious "SADAS concert" slot, a testament to his exceptional talent.

Shashank's performances span a broad spectrum of musical genres, including Indian classical, symphonies, jazz, films, and crossover projects.

In addition to his performing career, Shashank has been a dedicated supporter of SPIC MACAY for over three decades, presenting over 1000 concerts and lecture demonstrations at schools and colleges across India.

Audiences recognize Shashank for his captivating performances characterized by intricate improvisations, melodious compositions, and pulsating rhythmic variations.

At the heart of his concerts lies the central piece known as Ragam Tanam Pallavi, thoughtfully composed by Shashank himself, showcasing his artistic brilliance.

His innovations include techniques for dual octave sound production, incorporating kalpana swaras and Tanam in a unique blend of vocal and instrumental styles.

As a co-creator, he played a vital role in developing the Shashank style of Carnatic Flute, addressing age-old defects associated with the instrument.

Shashank has performed and taught in prestigious institutions in India and over 50 countries around the world including India, USA, China, Canada, Macedonia, Hungary, Bangladesh, UK, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Iran, Morocco, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines and Korea.
