Professor T. R. Subramaniam (20 September 1929 – 4 October 2013), popularly known as TRS, was a vocalist in the Carnatic tradition.
Stalwarts like Madurai Mani, Semmangudi and Ariyakudi graced their residence and benefitted from their warm and affectionate hospitality.
Owing to their father's transferable job, the children received their schooling in several towns like Mayavaram, Kumbakonam and Tirunelveli.
[1] When he was about 19 years old, TRS won the first place in a singing competition at the Madras Academy with an unusual style.
The judges asked him to sing it in the raga Mukhari set to the very complex Sankeerna nadai tala.
