Amritha Murali – Podcast
“We only hope that… art doesn’t suffer. We don’t want to lose good artistes or good art because of these concerns.”
– Amritha Murali
Kum. Amritha Murali‘s high technical competency in the art form is blanketed with life and soul. She says that though uncertainty is an indelible facet of an artiste’s life, she hopes this prolonged and unexpected break does not result in the art itself taking a hit. She shares activities she is upto and appreciates being able to eat freshly prepared home-cooked food for every meal.

Equally adept at vocal and violin, Kum. Amritha has learned from the Kedaranathans, Sri. Vittal Ramamurthy, Smt. Rama Ravi, Smt. T Rukmini, Sri. PS Narayanaswamy and, for the past several years, from Sri. RK Shriramkumar.
I thank Mrs.Lakshmi Anand for the spread of music in a novel way to divert from the melancholy mood to one of healing the minds. Ms.Amirta Murali is more candid with her share of personal treasure right from music, food to friendship. Very glad to know her tutelage under Sri.PSN Mrs.T.Rukmini and Violin from Sri.RKS. as Amrita says , when some disruption to normal life takes place more people suffer financially, resulting to mental strain. But even taking into account normalcy will return in course of time, we are doubtful of the staging of musical concerts for some more months really. We all wish Saarvari Tamil New Year will remove all our sufferings , and happiness to bloom in full flow.
